Quote from Marshall Swimming/Diving Coach Ian Walsh:
"Our coaches are so proud of the success our women have earned, both in the pool and now in the classroom, this season. There have been a lot of "firsts" for Marshall Swimming and Diving on the athletic side. To receive this award means a lot to this program."
"Through the most challenging season, our group found a way to be the standard, academically, within our conference. They earned it every day and we look forward to continuing our academic excellence for years to come."
