A Look at Duke
After making program history by extending their unbeaten streaks into January, the men's and women's teams ran into a tough test Jan. 16 in Atlanta ... Facing ranked men's and women's teams from Indiana and Michigan, as well as host Georgia Tech, the Blue Devil women came away with the lone win, topping the Yellow Jacket women by a 198-101 margin ... The women (7-2) improved to 3-0 in ACC action while the men dropped to 6-3 (2-1 ACC) following the quad meet.

Senior Day
Duke will recognize the 11 members of its senior class Saturday at 10:45 a.m. on the pool deck … Seniors David Armstrong, Victor Chen, Linsay Cooper, Kathryn Eckhart, Delaney Lagrew, Kendall McClenney, Lexi Mendes, Kiera Molloy, Kenny Ng, Ryan Prince and Chelsea Ye will be honored for their contributions to the program's development over the last four seasons.

“This senior group has been an absolutely great catalyst addition to our program over the years,” said head coach Dan Colella. “They've seen this program really grow and develop. And they've been instrumental in that. They've seen ups and downs in the program. It definitely is a group of seniors that will be very much missed, not just for their talents in the pool, but a whole array of reasons. These are very driven individuals who have been successful both in the classroom as well as the pool. We're looking forward to them having continued success as they open up a new chapter in their lives.”

A Look at North Carolina
The 16th-ranked North Carolina women are 6-1 overall and 1-0 in the conference entering a double dual with NC State and Virginia Friday evening in Chapel Hill … The 19th-ranked Tar Heel men own an overall ledger of 5-2 and are also 1-0 against ACC foes … In their last outing Jan. 9, both squads earned victories over Navy … Individually, North Carolina's Emma Nunn ranks second in the ACC in the 1,000 freestyle (9:53.08) and Ben Colley is third in the 200 butterfly (1:45.20).
