QUOTES
Tennessee Head Coach Matt Kredich:
"There's a different vibe when it's one team only. I felt it was important we establish more of a competitive identity as a women's team. This gave us the opportunity to do that. We had an early-morning meet, and I was pleased how the team handled challenges of a quick turnaround this weekend. We displayed more discipline than we did last weekend. We were upbeat and competitive the whole time. We continue to see development in the a lot of areas, and you could see it with the freshman.

"Stanzi had a great meet today. She was in control of all her races and all her speeds. It's nice to have her healthy and on top of her game. Meghan Small had a good day as well. In the 50, after Stanzi, Bailey Grinter was right there in second. She's made some strides in the last month or so. Amanda Nunan continues to be a rock for us. Tess had a solid meet as well; she really woke up in the second half of the 500 and had a great finish. we had a lot of contribution across the spectrum. There's clearly some progress from some key people, and that's great to walk away with."

Tennessee Diving Coach Dave Parrington:
"As expected, the Arkansas divers were very tough. We did some good stuff and it was a good opportunity for our young ladies to go head to head against a talented ark diving squad. We didn't dive as well as we might have been able to do, but I did see some good things today. Rachel missed her first dive on 3-mter and came storming back. It was good to see her resiliency after the ankle roll last week."
