TOWSON, Md. – The Towson University women's swimming and diving program will seek its first undefeated dual meet season since the program's debut in 1972 on Saturday at 1 p.m. The Tigers are hosting Johns Hopkins in their final dual and home meet of the season.
 
The meet will serve as the Tigers' Senior Day and will also be the second meet where Special Olympic Maryland athletes from Towson's fall swim clinic series will swim exhibition races during the meet's diving break.
 
"We are very excited to compete tomorrow," Head Coach Pat Mead said. "The opportunity to be undefeated is exciting. All of our past women's teams are a big part our success this year. I am confident that our women will rise to the challenge."
