"It was terrific to have George Mason, Loyola and LSU here tonight for this meet," said Navy men's swimming head coach Bill Roberts.  "It was a perfect meet setup for where we currently stand in our training and the season.  There were some terrific races from beginning to end tonight as we are happy with our ability to keep up with this level of competition."

"A big thank you and congratulations to LSU, George Mason and Loyola for a great meet," said Navy women's swimming head coach John Morrison.  "We were proud of the energy and effort our team brought today.  They dug deep to earn two victories in our three meets.  Our consistent effort over the last three weeks of competition has been very good.  We do have to clean up some details over the next few weeks, but are excited to get back to work."

Walsh posted victories in the 100 and 200 breaststroke races.  She recorded a time of 1:03.17 to win the former by 35-hundredths of a second and a 2:18.05 to place first in the latter event by 1.45 seconds.  Navy's Maddie Koutavas placed second in the 200 breast with a time of 2:19.45.

"Leading the charge for us was Lauren Walsh with her two big wins," said Morrison.

Phillips also won the 200 breast as he touched the wall first in the race by 2.59 seconds with his effort of 2:00.37.  He would go on to lead a 1-2-3-4 Navy finish in the 200 IM with a time of 1:50.38.  He bettered teammate Gio Aguirre by 1.14 seconds for the victory.

"Michael Phillips had a terrific meet in winning his two races," said Roberts.  "He was exceptional in each race and we are very happy for him."
