IRVINE, Calif. – The Concordia University Irvine women's swim and dive team competed this past weekend at the PCSC Triple Distance Invitational which provided opportunities for the team to showcase their skills in various events. It was the third race in January already as the Golden Eagles continue to improve against regional competition.
