"Our team really buckled down in the second half fo the meet. We needed some big swims to come back and beat LMU. Amy Griffin started us off with a gutsy 100 free, leading from start to finish. Trinity (Ishikawa) and Cassie (Anderson) put themselves out there in the 200 backstroke. Lauren Allard, Anna Reikhof and Juju Chan went 1, 2, and 3 against LMU to put us back ahead.
