QUOTABLE
Head Coach Joe Spahn said: "As a team we swam very well today. It was a tough turn around with a 4:00 pm meet yesterday and then a 9:00 am meet today but it's good practice for conference. Next Friday should be a lot of fun hosting our PCH Cup rival, LMU, under the lights. It's our last opportunity to clean some things up before we head into our mid-season meet."
NEXT UP
The Waves be back home hosting Loyola Marymount on Friday, November 8th at Raleigh Runnels Memorial Pool.
