Head coach
Becca Weiland had this to say about her team's performance, "Tonight was a good meet for day one of our meet against Simon Fraser. Swimming outside of the United States and in meters is a new experience for most of our women and I think we overall did a good job tonight. We still need to work on a few details pertaining to a few individual races, but I'm confident that we will be better next time and ready for conference in February."
The Nanooks will be back in the water Saturday, Jan. 18 at 9 A.M. AKST.
