"We were looking forward to today. It was a shorter trip and a venue which would be hosting our season ending meets in February. Both teams improved their performances from our previous meets and we had a chance to show some of our depth in events that some don't normally get to compete in," said Lafayette head coach James Dailey. "Our times were much faster and our scores much higher. Today's performances set the stage for a great Lafayette vs, Lehigh dual meet."
The Maroon and White host Lehigh for senior night on Nov. 22 at 6 p.m.
