HEAD COACH CLAYTON O'CALLAGHAN
"I think the process of how we went about our business over the last three weeks was definitely better. While we didn't quite have results from a team standpoint that we wanted - I thought we could have been a bit closer to the other schools, but I liked the way we approached these last few weeks."
"The last kilometer of just about everyone's race was run at a pretty high level which is good, but also means we left a lot out there. We need to get better at trusting ourselves to make moves earlier in a race. I definitely think our goal of being a top five team in the conference on the women's side is still in play and trust our guys as well to finish the season on a high note."
