Head Coach Bill Dorenkott stated \u201cIt was nice to race an up-and-coming program like Rutgers. They are very well coached and disciplined. We\u2019re right where we should be four weeks out of the Big Ten\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n
The women came off with an impressive victory on the road. The quartet of Sarah Haupt (Carlisle, Pa.), Courtney Stanchock (Bloomsburg, Pa.), Amberle Biedermann (Colorado Springs, Colo.), and Dee Dlugonski (Washington, Pa.) took home the title of the 400 Medley Relay with the time of 3:43.77.

Dorenkott added, \u201cThe women raced really well. We\u2019re excited to see the younger kids\u2019 step up and one of the challenges this weekend was to get off the bus, compete well and travel home and step up to compete again. Just like we\u2019ll have to at the Big Ten\u2019s and NCAA\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n
Penn State returns to the pool tomorrow afternoon for the final home meet of the season versus West Chester at 12:00 pm in McCoy Natatorium. The seniors will be honored at this event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
