Quoting Coach Armstrong
• "Coach Nick and I were very happy with the teams' effort this weekend. To go from a tri-meet on Friday featuring three top-10 teams to a formidable Stevens Tech team is a real challenge. To walk away with so many wins is amazing! We have some sharpening to do and some areas of improvement to focus on over the coming weeks but the effort was great!"

What it Means
• Hopkins improves to 6-0 all-time against Stevens.
