"Our tie with LMU reflects the best in dual competitive spirits," said head coach Craig Mallery. "Each team is motivated for the win, where leads exchange throughout the competition and the meet outcome is well fought through the final events of the swim meet. LMU is a fast rising Division I program; they are extremely well coached and a rival in the best sense of sportsmanship."
