This weekend, men’s swimming and diving will travel to Providence and take on the Bears and the Big Green. On Friday’s upcoming three-day invitational, The Princeton Tigers (1-1) hope to take away two clean wins against Brown (0-1) and Dartmouth (0-2). At their most recent meet on Nov. 18, the reigning champions hailed victorious over hosts Cornell (191-109), but suffered a defeat against the Quakers (192-108) despite their efforts. This marked Princeton’s first defeat against Penn since 1989.

This year’s season start is almost the polar opposite of last year’s, where the Tigers went a shaky 3-4 in the first half of the season but magnificently converted their record into a 10-4 first place finish.
