“I’m very proud of our team’s efforts on the lanes but more importantly, their commitment to their studies inside the classroom,” commented Wagner head coach Joseph Ambrose. “We made a lot of strides as a program and know that we will continue to build upon the foundation while reaching new milestones and heights on and off the lanes.”
