The Crimson's hidden weapon comes from a pair of highly touted recruits in the freshmen class--breaststroker Erika DeBenedetto and flyer Kate Nadeau.
"We're excited and we care about our teammates," DeBenedetto said. "We're going to go out, swim fast and have fun. We're going to do it for the team."
Nadeau knows what it will take to unseat the reigning queens of the Ivy League.
"Having other girls right here with me makes it easier," Nadeau said. "It's easier to train at a higher level with these other girls. We can do it."
The team has aspirations past the Ivy League title.
Morawski-Wreide hopes to qualify several athletes for the NCAA Championships, and there is even hope for Chock to take seven Ivy wins, three individual and four relay golds.
The Crimson begins its real quest this weekend, facing Brown in Providence tomorrow and Columbia at Blodgett on Sunday.
