EVANSVILLE, Ind.- University of Southern Indiana Men’s and Women’s Swimming and Diving squads have announced their schedule ahead of the 2024-25 season. The Screaming Eagles gained some momentum last year as they head into their third season of the program’s existence competing in the Summit League.
The Eagles begin their regular season with a road trip taking on the newly branded Indiana University Indianapolis (previously known as IUPUI) for the second year in a row (October 5). USI hosts four home meets in the 2024-25 season taking on Valparaiso University (October 10) in the home opener. The men are 1-2 against Valparaiso, while the women are 2-1.
USI takes on the Indiana Intercollegiate hosted by Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana (October 12) for the second straight year. After the intercollegiate, both squads return to the USI Aquatic Center to host Bellarmine University (October 26).
Both squads take on two ultra-competitive invites to conclude the fall. First, USI travels to Southern Illinois University-Carbondale for the third straight year of the A3 Performance Invitational (November 14-16). The fall season concludes in Greensboro, North Carolina at the U.S. Open (December 4-7).
The competitive schedule continues into the new year with a road trip to Evanston, Illinois to match up with Northwestern University (January 10). The Eagles stay in the Chicago area to battle University of Illinois-Chicago and Eastern Illinois University in a tri-meet (January 11), hosted by the Flames.
The battle for the city takes place at the USI Aquatic Center against University of Evansville (January 17). The city will be represented all over the pool with numerous tri-state area athletes represented. USI finishes the month with their home finale against Summit League Rival, the Eastern Illinois Panthers (January 18). The men are 2-0 all-time, while the women are 1-1 against the Panthers.
The seasons efforts culminate with the four-day Summit League Championships (February 19-22) with all the conference teams battling for the title. The venue for the 2025 championship has been moved from Minneapolis to Iowa City this year.
Both teams finished seventh in the Summit League last season as they look to continue to grow and compete for the Summit League Championship in 2024-25.
