The Minutemen and Minutewomen will take on the Terriers on Saturday, Nov. 9.

AMHERST, Mass. – The University of Massachusetts swimming and diving team takes on in-state foe Boston University for a dual meet on Saturday, November 9, at 1:30 p.m., in Boston, Massachusetts, at the FitRec Competition Pool.
 
Last Time Out
The Massachusetts swim and dive program competed against Yale in a scrimmage on Saturday, October 19, in Amherst.
 
The Minutemen and Minutewomen combined for five first place finished on the day, which included two gold medals for junior Andrew Bell in the one-meter (371.93) and in the three-meter (393.98).
 
Additionally, sophomore Lindsay Burbage (100 breaststroke; 1:04.20), freshman Hannah Schoenauer (200 butterfly; 2:06.77) and sophomore Aydin Erkan (200 butterfly; 1:51.98) all take first in their respective events.
 
Both the men's and women's teams posted 18 personal- and seasonal-best times each.
 
Broken Records
Junior Sammy Quigg secured two first-place finishes against Boston College, while swimming a time of 20.34 in the 50 freestyle, marking a new Joseph R. Rogers, Jr., Pool record. His time beat the previous pool record by 0.01 second held by a Boston University swimmer from the 2023-24 season (20.35). Quigg's time also met a new dual meet record for the Minutemen in the event, which Quigg held with a time of 20.38 last season.
 
At the Justin Jennings Invitational, Bell broke two pool records at Lineberry Natatorium in both the one-meter and three-meter dive. Bell scored a 355.90 in the one-meter dive, while totaling a 386.85 in the three-meter dive. Both records broke previous records from 1987 and 1994. 
 
All-Time Top-25
In the UMass all-time top-25 records, Schoenauer is currently 17th in the 200 butterfly with a time of 2:06.77, while freshman Maria Grishaeva ranks 20th in the 200 backstroke with a time of 2:07.15. The two Minutewomen recorded their times against Yale.
 
For the Minutemen, Gavin Buttram is 25th in the all-time top-25 in the one-meter with a six-dive total of 255.53, achieving the score against Yale.
