"This was one of our largest senior classes and the most talented class," VanWagner said. "They have been one of the main reasons for our success."
Marist will swim one final meet against the UMBC Retrievers on January 27 in Baltimore before gearing up for the MAAC championships. The team will go for a perfect 10-0.
Coach VanWagner feels the team's chances of succeeding at the MAAC championships are excellent although they will face some stiff competition.
"Right now I feel we are the team to beat, but Rider will give us some competition," VanWagner said. "They have four returning upper classmen on the roster that they originally didn't have, so they will be far more competitive than we originally anticipated."
Coach VanWagner also believes that the youth on the roster will be pivotal to the team's success in the MAAC championships.
"We have a clear picture of the upper class, but some of our youth will contribute to our championship results more so than we thought at first," VanWagner said.
