Rickey's Reactions
"Tonight, we saw a lot of things that gave us hope. We finished our races well and had a lot of back-end speed. Over the next few weeks, we will focus on the front end of our races in practice. Elise winning the 3-Meter Dive and Rayah finishing second in the 1-Meter really helped the team."
Up Next
The Falcons will return to the pool next Saturday to take on Mid-American Conference Counterpart Buffalo on the road.
