The University of Evansville swimming and diving teams begin their seasons this weekend with a home meet against Southern Illinois.
On Friday at 4 p.m., the Purple Aces and Salukis will complete the diving portion of the meet. The swimmers take their turn in the pool on Saturday at 11 a.m. and will be a relay format with events unique to the meet.
Last season, the women produced a successful season, breaking school records, earning MVC accolades, and taking top 8 finishes. Nearly every single swimmer achieved at least one lifetime best time.
The men held much of the same success; team improvements were led by newcomers to a MAC Championship with the most individual scorers in at least a decade. Additionally, all the men exceeded their own personal marks in at least one event.
The Aces have added seventeen newcomers to their ranks this season and look to improve even further in the 2017-2018 season.
