QUOTABLE
Head coach
Ellie Monobe said: "I think we had a solid performance against a very talented SJSU program. After having five meets in a two-week period, our group is tired and yet we are having very consistent performances. Freshman
Lexi Haymart had the race of the day winning the individual title in the 1000 free."
