Cleveland State Women's Swimming & Diving Completes Weekend Trip

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Cleveland State completed its second day on the road, falling to IUPUI, 155-143, and Milwaukee, 178-120. On the day, the Green and White won three individual races and one relay.

"Today was incredible," said coach Burandt. "We aren't historically known as a sprint program, and today we sprinted and were competitive in ways we've never been able to before. We had the most fun, were the loudest team, and were incredibly competitive. I can't wait to see how our team performs in the next dual meet against Youngstown and at Magnus."
