TEMPE, Ariz. – The No. 10 Arizona State men and the Sun Devil women, who are just outside the top-25 and still receiving votes in the latest poll, head to the Bay Area this weekend for arguably their toughest tests of the spring dual season.
On Friday, the Sun Devils face No. 1/5 Cal at 3 pm MT before turning around to face No. 5/3 Stanford at 1 pm MT on Saturday.
Most recently for the Sun Devils, the women cruised to a 177-83 Pac-12 victory at Washington State last weekend. ASU won 13 of 14 events, showing their depth as eight different Sun Devils won events on the day, led by Chloe Isleta who won three and set a new Gibb Pool record in the 200 IM.
Versus the Cougars, Arizona State earned 1-2-3 sweeps in five of 14 events (1000 free, 100 breast, 50 free, 200 breast, 200 IM), improving to 4-1 on the season.
The preseason No. 1 Cal men moved back to No. 1 on Dec. 6 after slipping slightly into the No. 2 spot midway through the early season. Justin Lynch was recently named Pac-12 Men's Swimmer of the Month for December. The Bears' women moved back up to No. 3 recently after starting the season No. 2 then going as low as No. 7.
The preseason No. 1 Stanford women have been in the top-3 all season, No. 3 going into this weekend, while the men started the season at No. 3, moving down to No. 7 and back into the top-5 in the latest ranking. Katie Ledecky recently was named Pac-12 Swimmer of the Month for November.
The Stanford meet will be broadcast on Stanford's Pac-12 Plus live stream: http://pac-12.com/live/stanford-university.
After this weekend, the Sun Devils return home for the final two weekends of the regular season, hosting No. 2/4 Texas on Friday, Jan. 26 at 2 pm MT and No. 18/20 Arizona on Saturday, Feb. 3 at 1 pm MT, which will serve as Senior Day.
