Head coach Jill Greenleaf:
"We had a significant number of fantastic mid-season swims and diving performances today.  Our women competed very well with Liberty League runner-up Vassar today while our men's depth prevailed. There was a lot of progress in our times and scores since we last competed at home two weeks ago.  Looking forward to seeing what we do next week against Union."
