STORRS, Conn. – The University of Connecticut men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams return to action for a tri-meet against Penn State and Princeton. The two-day event kicks off on Friday in State College, Pa. at 5 p.m. Saturday’s events will be held in two sessions with the first beginning at 9 a.m.
After a week-long hiatus, the men’s and women’s swimming teams will get back in the water at the meet hosted by PSU. Both teams have not seen action since Halloween, when they competed in a dual non-scoring meet against Brown.
