About the Cardinals
Last time out, the eighth-ranked Louisville women won the SMU Classic by a commanding 46 points, beating No. 10 Virginia and No. 11 USC. The Cardinals won all four relays and four individual events, while also breaking two meet records en route to the victory. The No. 11 Cardinal men were defeated 192-161 by No. 16 Ohio State and 190-162 by No. 10 Texas A&M in their last outing. Nicolas Albiero (100 back/200 fly) and Marcelo Acosta (500 free/1000 free) each posted a pair of wins to lead the Cardinals.
Eight Louisville women have posted times that rank among the top-10 swims in the country, led by Mallory Comerford who holds the nation's top times in the 100 free (47.57), 200 free (1:42.79) and 500 free (4:40.43). Comerford is also the only swimmer in the nation who has recorded an NCAA 'A' cut so far this season. Additionally, the Cardinals hold the top spot in the 200 free relay, 800 free relay, 200 medley relay and 400 medley relay. In diving, Molly Fears ranks eighth on the 1-meter with a score of 314.63.

Tennessee
The Tennessee Volunteers will host Louisville in their first dual meet of the 2018-19 season.
