Quotable
> "Starting off the day with a loss was not what we planned, but we came together and refocused to push forward and the girls responded. We had a strong match against Notre Dame with some close bouts and wins. We felt the momentum shift going into Air Force and Northwestern. We started off with lead and maintained it and our energy. It was a long day but I'm impressed with the energy I saw from the team. The match against Cornell neck and neck and came down to last two bouts. We went into overtime on both and unfortunately came out on the losing side, but we left the strip knowing we can turn it around. Pushing Cornell to the wire is something that we can build on and learn from. Now, ready to go back and work on what we need to improve heading into our next meet. " – head coach Jennie Salmon
