The swimming and diving teams will continue their busy fall slate with a Horizon League dual meet at Milwaukee on Saturday.  The diving portion of the meet will begin at 11:00 am at the Schroeder YMCA in Brown Deer, Wisc., with the swimming events getting under way at 2:00 pm at Milwaukee's on-campus Klotsche Natatorium.

The meet will be the Flames' final dual test before the winter training break.  Though both the men's and women's squads have yet to swim at full strength due to illness, they will have a good measuring stick against a conference rival before the final push toward the Horizon League Championships begins in earnest in January.

Last Time Out

• The men's squad came within four points of upsetting defending conference champion Oakland, who has not lost a Horizon League meet since joining the league.
• The men won the final event of the meet, the 200 free relay, in front of a raucous crowd at UIC Natatorium, but Oakland finished second to score enough points to stay ahead in the final team score.
• UIC's women swam well in a narrow loss to Oakland.
• Lexie Joy won three events and Christina Neri won two.
