"Our student-athletes always bring their A-game at the championships.  I'm just glad we had enough firepower to defend our title. JU is such a well- coached powerhouse that you can never get comfortable. I'm incredibly pleased with the effort of our teams this weekend. They turned out some outstanding performances and never let up regardless of how tired they were."
