TOLEDO, OH – The Toledo women's swimming and diving team will travel to Ohio for its last dual meet of the 2016-17 season. The meet is slated to begin at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 28 in the OU Aquatic Center.

"Saturday should be a really good meet," said head coach Jonas Persson. "We are swimming a very good team, and there should be some really close races.

"We are less than four weeks out from the MAC championships, so our final preparations have begun to get ready for a nice end of the year meet. Our dual meet against Ohio is our final step in our preparation and our swimming should reflect that. It will be a lot of fun!"
