FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (January 20, 2022) - Northern Arizona Swimming and Diving will host the New Mexico State Aggies on Saturday at 11 a.m. MST in the Aquatic and Tennis Complex.
As the team heads into the last competition ahead of the second Lumberjack Diving Invite and WAC Championships, they are looking for one more conference win under their belts, against the 2021 WAC runner-up, New Mexico State.
The Lumberjacks last saw New Mexico State in competition in December of 2021 at the Cal Baptist University Lancer Invite, where the 'Jacks placed first with 1,373 points, and the Aggies came in second with 1,234 points.
As the season narrows down, New Mexico State has Saturday's meet along with a Jan. 29 matchup versus the University of New Mexico before they compete in the final Lumberjack Diving Invite, and then prepare for WAC Championships at the end of February.
NAU is coming off a short break, after last weeks meets on schedule were canceled due to COVID protocols. The Lumberjacks last saw competition on Jan. 7 and 8 at the University of Arizona dual meet. Sophomore Maddy Rey and Victoria Knapp were awarded with WAC Swimmer and Diver of the week after their performances at Arizona.
The Lumberjacks are returning to their home pool for the first time in both swimming and diving events since Nov. 6, where they hosted the University of New Mexico.
Seniors, Astrid Villeda, Katy Smith, Keeley Vardeman, Alyssa Jones, Clara Foster, and Abbie Nelson will be honored for their commitment and dedication to the NAU Swimming and Diving program throughout the last four years. The team will honor the seniors prior to the 11 a.m. start time on Saturday morning.
