Quotable: Assistant Coach Collin Zeffer
"I'm pretty happy with the results today for the men. As a team we competed well against some strong rivals in Villanova and La Salle. It was a real team effort, especially early. In the last 2k lap of the course, the race picked up and I like how individuals like Liem Chot, Graham Thomas and Zack Marmol responded and competed. Overall, this race is a great set up for the squad for the rest of the fall."
