No. 7/13 Cardinals Head to Knoxville to Face No. 17/7 Tennessee

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- The University of Louisville men's and women's swimming and diving teams will head to the Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatic Center in Knoxville, Tenn. for its first away dual meet Oct. 21 at 2 p.m.

The No. 7 Cardinals men's team will take on the 17th-ranked Volunteers while the women's meet will feature No. 13 Louisville team taking on the seventh-ranked Lady Vols.

Louisville was idle last week, with their last meet coming at the prestigious SMU Classic. Arina Openysheva and Daniel Sos earned ACC Swimmers of the Week honors as leading point scorers for the Cardinals at SMU. Openysheva and the Cardinals swam in the SMU Classic, finishing second to Michigan but ahead of Arizona, Miami, Missouri and SMU. The graduate student from Zelenogorsk, Russia, swam in the 100, 200 and 500 free and was part of the 200 and 800 free relays. Openysheva won the 200 and 500 free races and was part of the first-place 800 free relay team. The Cardinal swimmer recorded NCAA provisional times in the 100, 200 and 500 free events.

A graduate student from Budapest, Hungary, Sos helped Louisville to a second-place finish at the SMU Classic. The Cardinals outswam Arizona, Missouri, SMU and Texas A&M, but finished behind Michigan. Sos swam four events, winning the 200 and 400 IM as well as the 200 breast and posting NCAA provisional times in all three.

Tennessee swimming and diving came up short last weekend at NC State, as Tennessee's men's and women's team fell to a pair of top-five foes from the ACC. The UT women dropped the meet 176-124 to the No. 3 Wolfpack, who finished as the national runner up last season. While the men fell to fourth-ranked NC State 205-95. Jarel Dillard earned SEC Male Swimmer of the Week for weeping both breast events. In the 100 breast, he notched a time of 52.84 to take first. The mark ranks third in the country this season and is the best in the SEC. On the women's side Mona McSharry was named SEC Swimmer of the Week as her performance in both breaststroke events were the top in the SEC this year.
