PRINCETON, N.J. – The Princeton University men's & women's swimming & diving teams will host their first meet of the 2020 calendar year Friday when Villanova University make the trip to Denunzio Pool for a dual.
Tiger Notes
While Princeton's men fell 171-129 to the U.S. Naval Academy on Saturday, January 4, the Tigera are 5-1 in dual meets on the season. In a time-trial after the Tigers' meet at Navy, Corey Lau earned a trip to the 2020 Olympic Trials in the 100-meter breaststroke after touching the wall at 1:03.29 seconds.
The Tiger women are 3-1 in dual meets this season and Friday's dual against the Wildcats will be their first of 2020.
