Rickey's Reactions
"Today was another tough meet. Buffalo is a very good team. Over the last three weeks we have competed against the top two teams in the MAC and the best team in the Horizon League. It has been a tough stretch in our schedule, but we are in high spirits and looking forward to MAC Championships."
Up Next
The Falcons return to the pool in two weeks in the Miami Last Chance Meet taking place from February 10th through the 11th. This will be the Falcons last competition before MAC Championships.
