SWIMMERS RETUN HOME WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON
On Wednesday evening, West Chester is set to return to Graham Natatorium for an in-season swim meet against the University of Pennsylvania. The Golden Rams aim to deliver a robust performance against the Quakers, who have recently participated in an Ivy-league tri-meet at Yale, where they finished second out of three teams.

West Chester comes off a strong showing against the University of Delaware prior to the holiday break. They seek to build upon their previous performance versus the Blue Hens and, following a lengthy hiatus and time spent in the pool, intend to swim towards a victory.
