WHAT THE COACHES ARE SAYING
Head Coach Petra Martin: "This Saturday will be a tough meet, but we are excited about it. Eastern has been swimming really well this year and I'm expecting them to come out of the gates fast again. Oakland will swim well at home also and we need to be ready to go. It will be our first travel meet this year so we need to figure out how to respond to a different environment and make the right decision. I want to see our team doing well no matter if we are home or away and this will be a great opportunity to test our readiness."
Dive Coach Alex Gauvin: "We're looking forward to being exposed to some great competition and to once again show everyone that we're doing it the right way down here in BG. I want them to look at our athletes and say to themselves 'OK, we're going to have to watch out for BGSU in the future, there's a ton of potential there'".
