After three weeks off, the men's and women's swimming and diving teams return to action Saturday against conference-rival NC State at the Willis Casey Aquatics Center in Raleigh. Both Blue Devil squads are 1-1 overall and 0-1 in the ACC after defeating College of Charleston and falling to Clemson in the opening meet of the season October 9.
The Wolfpack men are 0-1 after losing their first meet of the 2004-05 season to conference-newcomer Virginia Tech on October 15. Prior to meeting the Blue Devils on Saturday, the NC State men's team competed in the Tar Heel Invitational Friday evening. The women's squad is 2-1 after picking up wins over Campbell and Gardner-Webb in a dual meet on Thursday. Like the men, the women's team dropped the opening meet to the Hokies.
The men's and women's teams from NC State finished last season in sixth and fifth place, respectively, in the ACC. Junior Cullen Jones returns to defend his conference championship wins in the 50 and 100 Free, while junior diver Molly Culberson aims to earn another win in the three-meter diving finals.
