"We swam with great strategy this weekend," said Coach Nikki Rose.  "We have a lot of work to do in January to ensure that we reach the level of fitness we need going into the Conference Championship.  Regardless, I am very pleased for the D&E women that they were able to defeat a conference rival with as much talent as Fairmont."
