Eugene's a really good swimmer. He's been doing a really nice job for us all winter. He had a nice solid freshman year. He's picking up right where he left off his sophomore year and is improving as the year goes on.

This sets up for a real exciting district meet. We have to get ready for a totally different experience (swimming at Ohio University). After training over winter break there, I think we will feel real comfortable there.

We didn't have the girls quite rested. We had more mediocre swims than outstanding ones, but I think they all saw what they needed to do to get qualified for the district meet. That's all this is, a preliminary qualification. We did what we needed to do.

I just wish he would have raped someone and been convicted. Then, he could probably still coach for us.

We're just taking one game at a time. Whoever's in front of us, we'll just go after them. ... There's no pressure now. What pressure there is, we've had all season, so we're used to it. It's nothing new to us.

Everything was going for us tonight. The spark was there. We've lived on our defense the whole year and we feel really good about having that kind of (defensive) reputation. It's all our coach. He pushes us in practice every day and it's awesome. I love it. ... And look where it's got us.
