College of Staten Island’s swimming and diving teams host Southern Connecticut State and East Stroudsburg on Saturday. The women will face both schools, while the men will compete against Southern Connecticut State only.

By the Numbers
  • Meet time: 1 p.m. Saturday, at CSI’s Sports and Recreation Center in Staten Island.
  • Southern Connecticut State leads both all-time series against CSI, 3-0.
  • East Stroudsburg is 3-3 and will meet CSI’s women for the first time.
  • Last season, Southern Connecticut State beat CSI’s men, 120-101, and women, 142-82.
Yes, But

CSI has yet to beat Southern Connecticut State, but last season both teams posted their highest scores against the Owls in the three-meet series. The Dolphins also claimed several event wins, including a pair of victories by diver Jacqueline DeFranco.

What's Next

Saturday gives CSI a chance to build on last season’s stronger performances against Southern Connecticut State. The women will also take on East Stroudsburg in the programs’ first meeting.

Bottom Line

CSI faces a familiar opponent it has yet to defeat, plus a new test for the women—the home meet offers both squads an opportunity to measure their progress.
