STORRS, Conn. – The University of Connecticut men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams will head out on the road for the first time this season for a dual meet against Brown on Saturday, Oct. 31 at noon.
Last weekend, the Huskies opened the regular season against Villanova in the Wolff-Zackin Natatorium. The men’s swimming and diving team cruised past the Wildcats, 171-108, while the women’s team fell, 171-127. Seniors Jeff Magin (Brookfield, Conn.) and Laura Ruttan (Stittsville, Ontario) each won two individual races at the meet.
