SYRACUSE, N.Y.- The men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams are looking to earn their first BIG EAST victories of the season on Saturday when they travel to take on Connecticut.

Boral, who has set a new Webster Pool record in the 200-breast in each of the last three home meet, ranks in the top 100 in the country in three events (100-breast, 200-breast, 200-IM). Duenas is ranked in three events as well, cracking the top 100 in the 200-fly, 200-IM and 400-IM.
The Orange will be looking for its first BIG EAST wins of the season as the men are 1-2 (0-2 BIG EAST), while the women hold a mark of 0-3 (0-2 BIG EAST). Despite dropping both the men’s and women’s meets with the Huskies last season, the Orange hold an advantage in the all-time series on both sides as the SU men lead 15-3 all-time and the women hold a 10-7 edge.
Connecticut enters Saturday’s meet with the men holding a perfect record of 4-0 (3-0 BIG EAST), while the women are 2-2 (1-2 BIG EAST). The Huskies recently returned from their winter training trip and have not competed since December 2-3 when they competed in the U.S. Open Championships.
Action will begin at 12 p.m. at the Wolff-Zackin Natatorium.
