Home Meets on Tap For Friday and Saturday at Beeghly Natatorium
11/4/2009 12:00:00 AM | Swimming and Diving
The Youngstown State swimming and diving team has a busy two days ahead playing host to a four-team meet on Friday and entertaining Marshall in dual meet on Saturday afternoon at 2 at the Beeghly Natatorium. On Friday, YSU competes against Cleveland State, Malone and Canisius starting at 4:30 p.m. The men's teams from those three schools will also be in action.
Youngstown State is coming off a performance at Niagara in which it won six of 16 events, led by freshman Casey Hill's victories in the one and three meter dives. Also winning events against the Purple Eagles were Kirstin Walker (200 free), Cailtin Cook (200 fly) and Nishani Cicilson (50 free).
The Penguins will be looking for their first dual-meet victory of the season on Friday. Last season, YSU split meetings with Cleveland State winning in Youngstown in November before falling to the Vikings in Cleveland in January. The Guins own three straight wins over the Vikings at Beeghly.
Last year, YSU dropped a 144-97 decision at Marshall. In the meet against the Thundering Herd, YSU's freestylers had a huge meet winning all five events -- 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1,650. Marshall earned a 170-73 victory over the Guins in its last visit in November 2007.
The Penguins have some time off following their busy weekend returning to the pool on Nov. 19 when they compete at the three-day Radford Invitational.
