Last year saw much success for both programs, especially for the men, who went 8-3 and had the Big East Swimmer of the Year in Noah Yanchulis.
This season begins with meets against Saint Peter’s and Montclair State at 4 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 7. Head coach Ron Farina spoke about his outlook for the program this season.
“Having 10 freshmen when you have 22 girls on the team, that’s 40 percent of the team and they’re all very talented coming in,” Farina said. “That’s very exciting on the women’s end.”
