Head Swimming & Diving Coach, Bruce Zimmerman, is excited to announce the addition of 6 new swimmers to the 2015-2016 women’s swimming and diving team. Signing National Letters of Intent during the fall signing period were Taylor Grashuis, Alexandra Davis, Amanda Thielen, Lydia Mattar and Samantha Tarbuck. Additionally, Mackenzye Dafforn-Koebler has been accepted to SVSU and will be a member of the team.
“I could not be happier with this group of girls who have chosen to attend Saginaw Valley State University for the continuation of their education and swimming careers. First and foremost, all of the girls are outstanding students who are committed to excel in the classroom and earn a degree from SVSU. In the pool, the girls are exceptional swimmers who will come in as freshman and make an immediate contribution to the program as we grow and become more competitive in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and on the national stage”.
