The University of Maine men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams will face Boston College in a non-conference meet at 11 a.m. Saturday at Stanley M. Wallace Pool in Orono. The women’s team will also face American East rival Northeastern for a home match-up at noon on Sunday.
Saturday will be the first home meet for the Black Bears since their first of the season when both teams were upset by Rhode Island in late October.
Coach Jeff Wren likes the fact that his team has finally returned home to swim the rest of this season at Wallace Pool. He said that because UMaine enjoys a better pool than other schools in the conference, UMaine will hold the America East Championships for the fourth year in a row.
Most pools in the conference have only six lanes as opposed to UMaine’s eight. A larger pool will allow Wren to swim more people, other than just his top team members. The additional lanes will allow them to obtain valuable experience.
