UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Penn State swimming & diving announces a slate of nine regular season meets for the 2023-24 schedule, followed by postseason tournaments beginning in February.
Three of these meets – all duals – take place on campus at McCoy Natatorium, including the first two competitions of the season. The schedule opens September 30 at noon against the St. Bonaventure Bonnies. One week later, the Navy Midshipmen come to Happy Valley for a meet October 7. Later in the winter, Penn State challenges Villanova on Senior Day February 2.
Most events are dual matchups, but added in is the Princeton Invite in New Jersey from November 30-December 3. Duals on the road include trips to West Virginia – where the men's and women's teams compete on separate days – a South Bend, Ind. journey to face both Notre Dame and Pittsburgh, and one-day meetings with Army and Virginia Tech.
The 2023-24 schedule mirrors a large portion of the 2022-23 slate, with St. Bonaventure and the Princeton Invite serving as the newcomers. Against opponents on the schedule, the women hold a 108-18 all-time mark while the men are 102-83. Pitt is the most common foe for both squads, with 51 meetings on the men's side and 32 on the women's side. Both sides look to maintain unblemished records against St. Bonaventure, with the women also keeping perfect marks in duals over West Virginia, Navy, and Army.
Villanova serves as the final regular season competition. Big Ten championships begin February 21, with the women's team traveling to Purdue. One week later, the men's championship commences, hosted by Ohio State. After Last Chance meets in early March, NCAA postseason begins with the Diving Zones March 11 to the 13. The Women's NCAA Championship begins March 21 in Athens, Ga. followed by the Men's Championship March 28 in Indianapolis.
