"Our expectation this year is for them to work on their personal goals," Falcons coach, Jaime Ferretti, said, "The boys meet was close and I was excited that it was even that close because of our lack of depth."

She spoke about the performance of her girls. "I am proud that they did a good job, they gave their best and it showed," she added.
