QUOTABLES

"The Waves had a standout day today against PCH Cup Rival Loyola Marymount," head coach Ellie Monobe said. "With the training cycle we are in and some rest right around the corner, I was impressed by our mid distance and distance groups. AJ Adams had the most notable swims of the day taking the victories in some off events. I'm Looking forward to seeing what tomorrow holds against the top programs in the MPSF."
