"This was a tough first meet. We saw some solid performances from Chris [Deaver], Noah [Koltenuk], Tori [Cramp] and Lauren [Serotta]," Head Coach Brian Striker said. "There were also a handful of lifetime bests. The energy that this team brings continues to be very positive. Despite some solid performances for mid-October, it wasn't enough to do much against a strong RIT program. It is pretty clear to me that we have some work to do to get to where we want to be."
