"They're a very strong team historically and it's been a really good rivalry between our two teams. We got a total team effort for the win today. Our guys were excited to compete and swim well. I'm very happy and pleased with our performance coming off a long winter break. You never know what might happen but we took care of business and came back excited and ready to compete.
 
"Our divers performed well today. I'm happy with the way they have progressed throughout the season. They had a very productive training trip to Florida over the break to learn some new dives."
