Brian Vereb Quotations

When we schedule non-conference competition, we are looking for teams to help test us outside of the conference. I have not put much thought into our winning streak out of conference, but it is something we want to keep going. Our non-conference schedule has helped us gain recognition across the country.

Kenyon is opening a new facility and we will be the second opponent to swim in their new pool. The Ladies are a powerhouse in Division III swimming and this should be a good test for us, swimming against a quality opponent on the road.

Travelling on the road and swimming away from home always presents a challenge. We are ready to meet this challenge and we are motivated to prove ourselves away from the ONAT. We have won four-straight on the road and have competed well and I am looking forward to a solid performance.

We have been in the midst of the toughest training of the season and I knew we would be tired. I was very pleased with the mental toughness and the grit that the team showed today.

We are very closely matched with Marshall in most events. Last season, our meet with Marshall came down to the final event and I can see that happening this year as well.

Bowling Green is about on the same level as us right now and have had some close, tough loses this season. This meet will come down to who has the best swim on that day and we are looking forward to a tough meet.

Eastern Michigan is one of the favorites in the conference to compete against Miami for the MAC title. EMU has some of the top freestyle swimmers and top divers in the conference and this should tell us where we stand going into the last couple of weeks of the season.
