HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – The Marshall University Swimming and Diving team opens the 2025-26 season with The Dual in the Pool Friday evening against the West Virginia Mountaineers at 5 p.m. in the Frederick A. Fitch Natatorium.
 
"We are excited to bring the two flagship institutions in the state together for a head-to-head dual meet for the first time in history," Herd Swimming and Diving Head Coach Ian Walsh said. "It will be a great event with a non-traditional format that should be fun and engaging for the fans. Both staffs look forward to building this rivalry and promoting our sport within our communities and state."
 
The two sides are meeting in a dual format for the first time in each program's history.
 
Swimming and diving personality Kyle Sockwell will be appearing at the meet as part of his Dual Meet Tour.
 
This season's team features 28 student-athletes, including 12 freshmen. Among the returners are Kseniia Luniushina and Lauren McNamara. Luniushina was the 2025 Sun Belt Freshman and Swimmer of the Year. During her freshman season, Luniushina was the SBC Champion in the 100 and 200 Backstroke setting the program record in both events.
 
McNamara returns to Huntington off a freshman campaign that saw the Flat Rock, Michigan, native set program record in the 200 Butterfly while being the 2025 SBC Champion.
