Swim/Dive Heads to Boston for Pair of Meets

BOSTON - The UConn swimming and diving team is coming off one of its biggest home meets in program history and looking to ride that momentum into a pair of meets this weekend in Boston.

Friday, November 8 at 3 p.m. the Huskies face off against Boston College, Duke and Dartmouth at the Margot Connell Recreation Center. UConn quickly turns around and competes at Boston University against the Terriers and Bryant University. The meet begins at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 9 at Aquatics Center - Competition Pool.

The Huskies are coming off an extremely fast meet against Army that saw UConn post 99 personal best times and featured times that were quite an improvement from last year against the Black Knights

UConn will go up against stiff competition with Duke ranking No. 26 on the men's side and No. 19 on the women's.

Last year, the men's team collected dual meet victories against both Boston College (160.5-114.5) and Dartmouth (122-115) while the women defeated Boston College (170-119) and Boston University (147-93) but lost to Dartmouth, 154-83.
