Significant credit goes to our divers for their exceptional performances in sweeping both boards. Sophia May continues to lead the way coming off a strong freshman season and Liv Rogers and Kailey Murphy had strong debuts. Multiple athletes won individual events and a couple personal best times were even recorded. Tonight was a strong start to what should be an exciting season for us."
