SCOUTING THE OPPOSITION:
Ohio State's men's and women's teams are undefeated so far this season. The men are 3-0 and the women are 2-0. The Wright State Raiders are the defending Horizon League Champions, but have year to garner a victory this season.
REVIEWING LAST WEEK:
Utah's women went 2-1 with wins over San Jose State 133-108 and UC Santa Cruz 151-86. They lost to Pacific 149-56 on Friday. Neringa Statkeviciute won the 50 Free (24.43) and the 500 Free (5:04.19) in the double dual meet. The men beat UC Santa Cruz 142-97, but fell to Pacific 104-101. Jon Larsen won the 50 Free (24.82) and the 100 Free (45.96) against Pacific.
QUOTING HEAD COACH MICHAEL LITZINGER:
"Ohio State is a great opponent out of the Big Ten, which is one of the premier swimming conferences. The men will see a very competitive opponent and we will see what we can do. We are coming off a solid weekend and showed a lot of heart fighting back against Pacific then rebounding against Santa Cruz. The women had a disappointing meet against Pacific but rebounded well on Saturday. They will have to rise to the challenge this week."
