ASHEVILLE, N.C. – The UNC Asheville swimming & diving team will return to action for the first time in 2022 this weekend as it competes against Liberty and Campbell in a double dual meet in Lynchburg, Va. The meet will begin Friday at 6 p.m. and will resume on Saturday at 11 a.m. Fans can watch this weekend's meet via ESPN+.
Last Time Out – The Bulldogs closed out the 2021 portion of their schedule in November with the swimmers competing at the Fall Frenzy Invitational and the divers taking part in the Liberty Invitational.

Dual Domination – The 6-0 start by Asheville continues a fantastic streak by the program. The Bulldogs have not lost a dual meet in over a calendar year.

Fine first half by the Bulldogs – Success in 2021 can be found up and down the Bulldog roster to help fuel their undefeated start.
