Coaches Corner:
"Very impressed with how the women competed today", said head coach
Ryan O'Connell. "Our course is not easy and they went out and attacked the race and helped lead us to a sweep on our home turf. I couldn't have asked for a better day. Also it was very cool to watch our senior captain
Shannon O'Connell win it by such a big margin in her last time competing at home. Very special moment for her!"
