COACHES QUOTES
Head Coach Tana McKay
On the overall thoughts of meet...
"I am so proud of the entire team, Georgia, and the whole SEC, is always tough so to come out and leave no question against them was great."
On going on the road against Oklahoma State...
"Going on the road will be another good steppingstone for us, we had our scrimmage, we've had our first couple of meets, now to go on the road against the team that beat us in the National Championship two years ago will be a great test for us."
UP NEXT:
Texas A&M will face No. 5 Oklahoma State in Stillwater on Saturday, October 21 at 11 a.m. for their first road test of the season.
