“I think our communication was really good this game,” Raina Henty-Dodd said. “I think everybody was really good at listening and kinda seeing the other members of the team in the pool and just being mindful about everybody else.”

El Camino will be back in the pool on Wednesday, Oct. 16 at 3 p.m. to clash with Pasadena City College in a South Coast Conference contest.
