Swimming and Diving Host Arizona on Senior Day

TEMPE, Ariz.-- The Arizona State men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams take to the water at Mona Plummer Aquatic Center in Tempe one last time for the season this Saturday, Feb. 8 in a Territorial Cup showdown against Arizona. For ASU, it will be the last competition in the pool before heading to Pac-12 Championships.

For six Sun Devil swimmers and one diver, it will be the last home meet of their careers with what better way to go out than hosting their in-state rivals in the biggest meet of the season.

The contest is set to begin at 1:00 p.m. MT with player introductions taking place 10 minutes before the meet. The Sun Devil swimming and diving team will also have t-shirt tosses during the diving breaks and will sign autographs on the pool deck post meet.
