Denver- It was senior night in El Pomar Natatorium for the Pioneers Women's Swimming and Diving as they took on Boise State. The Broncos came into Thursday's meet ranked 24th in the country. Boise State also came into Denver as the top rated Mid-Major team in the country. The Pioneers won the meet 158-141.
Coach Brian Schrader was elated by the team performance especially from the seniors who were honored prior to the start of the meet.
"This was a great meet with great effort from our seniors. We got the win and also our first win against a top 25 team in a dual meet."
Schrader's praise of the senior class continued, "I am so proud of our seniors that they have lead us to this point. Sam Corea (Vancouver, BC) and Bridgette McNally (Lone Tree, Colo.) were great, both getting wins tonight. This Senior class has been vital to our success and to have us where we are today."
Diving Coach Channing Kimball "I am proud of the DU women divers tonight. BSU has a strong diving team and a lot of depth. However, the three DU women held their own in the competition"
"I am particularly pleased with Larissa's competition tonight. She dove beautifully and posted a new personal best in the 3m event." The sophomore diver placed 5th in the three meter dive.
Freshman Maddie Myers (Arvada, Colo.) also grabbed Schrater's attention tonight "as a freshman I am excited for her to come on and put up a strong performance like she did tonight."
