Results
STANFORD, Calif. – While the final score wasn't in favor of the NC State women's swimming & diving team on Friday evening at the Avery Aquatic Center against No. 1 Stanford, it still accumulated an impressive array of times competing in an outdoor pool against the nation's best.
Team Scores
#1 Stanford 189 def. #13 NCSU 104
Quoting the Coach
"Definitely proud of the women," said head coach Braden Holloway. "We're going against the top team; this is the best team in college. The goal was to focus on what we can do, make improvements from week to week, obviously getting up and not being afraid to race, being aggressive but staying within ourselves, enjoying the moment, enjoying being over here and competing against a really good team; the girls did that. We had a good training week and a great training day yesterday; regardless of if they were tired they took the opportunity and made the most of it. Obviously Stanford is a really great program; the advantage for us was coming out here and learning more about ourselves, how we can handle some adversity and not being afraid to perform no matter who we're up against. We did a pretty good job with that so it's onto the next meet.
On Saturday morning we're going to be going against another big team in the Cal Bears; we matchup a little bit differently with them than they we did against Stanford but it's basically the same thing. How can we turn around tomorrow morning with energy and be ready to compete? That's what it boils down to and again, learn from today and some of the mistakes we made, figure out how to improve on those and make sure we create it and do it. Looking forward to another day or racing and what our ladies bring."
Wolfpack Relays
Elise Haan, Jacqueline Clabeaux, Krista Duffield & Ky-lee Perry performed admirably in the 200 medley relay as they finished second thanks to their time of 1:40.85 seconds. The 200 freestyle relay was a similar story; Duffield, Perry, Haan and Lupton finished second with a time of 1:31.58 seconds.
