🔼 Sweep the Seas. Swim and dive started 2024 out with a bang. The women took down Georgia Southern 200.0-94.0 in the first meet of the year. The Pirates won 14 events and celebrated Senior Day. Seniors Lizzy Linartas, Morgan Reilly, Flanary Patterson and Brynna Wolfe got to experience their last win inside Minges Natatorium this season. Overall, swim and dive is 7-0, and the dive team will compete on Saturday against Liberty.

🔼 One Up. The women’s basketball team won its second conference game in a thrilling last-second decision. Danae McNeal made the last shot of the game, and Tatyana Wyche blocked Memphis’s final shot to win the game 64-63. McNeal led the team with 17 points. The Pirates shot 54.5% from the field and 60% from being the arc. Catch the women back at home on Saturday as they look for their third straight conference dub.
