COLLEGE STATION - The ninth-ranked Texas A&M women's swimming & diving team will host No. 19 Penn State at the Student Rec Center Natatorium on Friday at 6:30 p.m.
The Nittany Lions enter this weekend having won 27 consecutive dual meets, a streak dating back to the 2005-06 season. Penn State is 2-0 so far this season, having defeated West Virginia and Richmond.
The Aggies (4-0) have put together a streak nearly equal to that of Penn State. A&M has won 25 of its last 26 dual meets with the only loss a 155-139 decision to No. 1 Auburn last January. The Aggies have wins over No. 18 Missouri and Kansas as well as North Texas and Rice this month.
