Christensen's Corner
"This afternoon was a strong showing against a really good Toledo team. Once again, our depth really played a big role in getting  the team victory. We're coming off of Winter Break training and we gained a lot of confidence through the work we've put in the last few weeks," head coach Josh Christensen said. "Tomorrow will be a really big challenge, going up to Ball State. They swam really well on Thursday night and I know they'll be ready to put up their best against us. It will be a fun, competitive meet, and we'll all get better through that."
