HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – The Marshall University swimming and diving team will host Liberty University Friday and Saturday at Frederick A. Fitch Natatorium in Huntington to begin its 2021-22 campaign. The event will be streamed on ESPN+ on both days.

"We are thrilled to be hosting Liberty this week in what will be a non-traditional meet format," Marshall swimming and diving head coach Ian Walsh said. "When putting together our competition schedule, we wanted to challenge our women and see where we stand against certain programs. Liberty has won its conference three years in a row and we look forward to standing toe-to-toe against them here at 'The Fitch' as we kick-off our home meet schedule."

First 100 fans on Friday will receive a free t-shirt and all fans are encouraged to wear pink both Friday and Saturday in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
