TOWSON, Md. - The Towson University men's swimming and diving team travels to George Mason for a two-day meet beginning Friday, Oct. 31. The Tigers will face College of Charleston and the host Patriots.

The two-day meet will begin at 4 p.m. on Friday and continues at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 1.

"This weekend will be very similar to our past two competitions," Head Coach Pat Mead said. "Most likely the victorious team will win by a very small margin. I am confident that our men will step up to the challenge."
