AKRON, Ohio – The Akron Zips swimming and diving team will be back in the water at Oliver J. Ocasek Natatorium to open Mid-American Conference action with a dual meet against Miami on Saturday, Oct. 30 at 1 p.m.
Â
Under the guidance of eighth year head coach Brian Peresie, the Zips are 4-1 against the RedHawks in head-to-head competition, including four consecutive wins. The Zips fell 187.5-109.5 in Peresie's first year at the helm (2013-14). Akron retaliated with three-consecutive victories in as many seasons, defeating Miami 158-142 in 2015-16, 176.5-123.5 in 2016-17 and 156-144 in 2017-18. The two teams last met in the 2019-20 season that was cut short due to the COVID-19 global pandemic as Akron triumphed with a 186-114 victory.
Â
The Zips are coming off an impressive start to the season at the Zips Classic as the squad set eight meet records and posted seven NCAA D1B qualifying times along with achieving three NCAA Diving Zone qualifying performances.
Â
As a result, senior Sarah Watson (Winnipeg, Manitoba) and junior Paige Kalik (Irwin, Pa.) swept the MAC weekly awards. Watson claimed MAC Swimmer of the Week honors for winning every event she entered while setting three meet records and posting a pair of NCAA D1B qualifying times. Kalik earned MAC Diver of the Week honors with a pair of NCAA Diving Zones qualifying performances en route to first- and second-place finishes.
