The Emory University swimming and diving team will wrap up the
dual meet portion of its 2009-10 season on Saturday, as the Eagles
will travel to Alabama to face Division I Auburn University.
This will be the Eagles final tune-up before the start of the
championship season, beginning with the University Athletic
Association Championships on Wednesday, February
17th. The Emory men, ranked fourth in Division
III, are 5-3 on the campaign, following their loss to Georgia Tech
last weekend. The Eagles' top-ranked women, who also lost to
Georgia Tech on Saturday, will enter the meet with a 6-3
record.
The Auburn men are ranked fifth among Division I schools, and will
enter the meet with a record of 4-2 during the campaign. The
Tigers' women are ranked eighth in the nation, and are 3-4 for the
season. This will be the final dual meet of the season for
Auburn as well.
This will be just the third meeting between the squads, with Auburn
taking the previous two matchups on both the men's and women's
sides. However, the teams have not faced each other since the
1992 campaign.
Saturday's meet is slated for an 11:00 AM start, and live results will be available for fans wishing to
follow the action from home.
