SWIMMERS RETURN HOME WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON
West Chester returns home to Graham Natatorium for an in-season swim meet on Wednesday evening against the University of Pennsylvania. The Golden Rams look to put in a strong performance against the Quakers, who have recently competed in an Ivy-league tri-meet at Yale, where they placed second out of three teams.
West Chester is coming off a strong effort against the University of Delaware before the holiday break. They look to build off their last performance against the Blue Hens and after a long break and time in the pool look to swim away with a victory.
