MAAC CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEW FROM COACH CHARLIE DISILVESTRO
"We have been practicing really well the past couple of weeks since Indianapolis. It has come together so well this season. I'm so proud of how the team has embraced the team mantra of we not me. They have not been selfish about their training and know what the expectations are. We are excited to race."
 
COACH DISILVESTRO'S GOALS FOR THE MAAC CHAMPIONSHIP
"The main goal is to perform as well as we can. We won't have a good result if we don't do that. If we do that, we will go fast. We are getting ready for that one time down the course. The whole season has been building to this one time. We don't have the luxury of having a bad race. We have to be at the top of our game from the first stroke."

Drake, Jacksonville, Fairfield, Marist, Sacred Heart, Stetson and Canisius.
