Coach Kotch on McGovern:
"Stephen comes of a high school program with a history of championships, so he will be relied upon to provide an example of what it takes to move this program in that direction. I look forward to working with him in developing his IM and in improving his breaststroke. Stephen and Andy will provide immediate depth and talent in the breaststroke events."
