Coach's Thoughts
"It's very exciting to come out of our first wins of the season," said Bruin head coach Natalie Turner, "We had some really solid swims against L&C with people swimming off events and stepping up to score points for the team. Our larger numbers on both men's and women's sides definitely helped fill out lanes in events. Hopefully, we can carry this momentum into tomorrow against PLU."

What It Means
The Bruins picked up their first dual meet win of the year against the Pios.

What's Next
The Bruins take on Pacific Lutheran tomorrow at 11:00 am in Newberg.
