"It was a great way to finish our dual meet season," said Head Coach Margarita Kalmikova. "Today's win gave both our men's and women's teams dual meet winning records. It's a great way to wrap up before going into the GLIAC tourney. We had some very good performances today, but the best thing was the amount of confidence they showed. We were able to win some very close races because of that. Now all the focus is on the GLIAC Championship."
