Coach Asadi regarding the dual meet vs. Nova: 
"Our goals going into this meet were to see growth and progress as individuals and as a program. We had a strong showing against an elite NCAA DII program that was suited up in preparation for their mid-season meet in December. We are a very young program, with 42 freshman/sophomores in their first full season of collegiate swimming. I am proud of how this team has grown over the course of the semester, and I am excited to see how we swim in our mid-season target meet at Columbus, GA next weekend."
