John HaymanThe last time any Blue Hen swimmers were in action was at the 2014 USA Swimming AT&T Winter Nationals in December. Many UD swimmers notched personal-best times at the event, but the highlight was men's swimmer Tim Ware setting a new school record in the 100 backstroke with a time of 48.10. The previous record was 48.56 by Hans Gillan at the 2010 CAA Championship.
Delaware's last team competition was at the Bucknell Invitational in November. At that meet, both Delaware teams finished in seventh place out of 10 teams.
The last time the Blue Hen women (6-2, 2-2 CAA) faced the Huskies and Dragons, UD swept a dual meet last season, defeating Northeastern 163.50–136.50 and Drexel 218-79.
After falling to UNCW and William & Mary earlier this season, the UD men's squad (2-4, 0-2 CAA) will look to notch its first conference victory Saturday against the Dragons. The Delaware men defeated Drexel last season by a 165-140.50 margin.
