Huskers Take on South Dakota; Meet Time Moved to 11 a.m.
The Nebraska swimming and diving team is looking to improve to 2-1 in dual meets on the year as it takes on the South Dakota Coyotes on Saturday at the Devaney Natatorium. The start time, which was originally set for 1 p.m., has been moved ahead to 11 a.m.

Nebraska is 2-0 all-time vs. the Coyotes, although the two teams haven't met since the 1992-93 season when the Huskers won 187-69.

The Husker swimmers have next weekend off, while the divers are heading to Minneapolis to square off with Minnesota in a divers-only dual. The whole team returns to the Devaney Natatorium the next weekend for the third annual Husker Invitational, which will run from Nov. 19-22.

Review: Huskers Rout Mavericks
The Nebraska swimming and diving team picked up its first dual win of the season on Oct. 24 with a 188.5-107.5 victory over UNO at the Devaney Natatorium.

The Huskers took the first seven events of the day, including a pair of Mariah Hutchinson victories in the 1,000-yard freestyle and the 200-yard butterfly. Nebraska finished 1-2-3 in five of the seven events and the Huskers held a 111.5-19.5 lead at the first diving break.

D'Arcy Schmidt won the three meter dive with a score of 262.88, with Kaitlan Walker taking second and Amy Herman taking third, extending Nebraska's lead.

Hutchinson added her third win of the day shortly after in the 200-yard breaststroke with a time of 2:27.37. The Huskers swam exhibition for the final four swimming events as they already had the meet in hand by then.

Freshman Courtney Rhodenbaugh earned her first career victory in the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 1:09.26. Hailey Dean, Brandie Kavalec, Kelsey Grushecky and Karen Criss all had a win on the day as well. Jess Andrews had the fastest time in the 100-yard butterfly, but didn't score as she was swimming exhibition.

Amy Herman won the one meter dive for her first career victory, with Schmidt coming in second and Walker taking third.
