SWIMMING: Lutes Back in Action After Long Break

THIS WEEK: PLU travels to Portland, Ore. to face Lewis & Clark at 6 p.m. Friday; PLU hosts Willamette at 1 p.m. Saturday.

HUNGRY FOR COMPETITION: The Lutes will hit the pool this weekend rested and hungry for action. This will be the first meet for the swim team in six weeks. Since returning from the winter break, the Lutes have been practicing for a week.

THE OPPOSITION: The Lutes will face a pair of NWC foes this week and the outcome will be important to the conference standings. PLU’s men’s and women’s team are both 2-1 this season, while both Willamette Bearcats squads are winless this season. Lewis & Clark should give PLU a fight, with the men’s squad 2-3 overall and the women’s at 4-1.

CHANGE OF LOCATION: The meet this Saturday against Willamette was scheduled to be at Willamette, but due to technical problems with their pool the meet was made a home meet, giving the Lute faithful a chance to see their swimmers in action.
