Northeastern University Announces 2016-2017 Schedule

BOSTON – Northeastern swimming and diving coach Roy Coates announced the 2016-17 schedule today, August 15.

“We are extremely excited about the challenging and comprehensive schedule that we face this upcoming season,” said Coates. “Our focus will be to train consistently hard through the dual meet season and peak for CAA conference championships. However, regardless of whether we are rested or not, we always expect our team to compete at the highest level. The competition on this meet schedule will definitely test us every step of the way to champs.”

The 2016-17 season kicks off on October 1 when the Huskies travel to cross-town rival Boston University before hosting Parents and Alumnae Day on Oct. 22 against James Madison and New Hampshire at Barletta Natatorium.

The Red and Black will compete at George Mason in a tri-meet with Towson on Nov. 4-5 and will travel again to Rutgers University for the Frank Elm Invitational Nov. 18-20.

The Huskies will face Drexel and Delaware on Jan. 7 in Philadelphia, Pa. before returning to Barletta Natatorium for Senior Day against Vermont on Jan. 14.

Northeastern will compete at Central Connecticut on Jan. 21 and will travel to LIU Brooklyn for a tri-meet with Wagner on the 27th and 28th to close out January.
