MARQUETTE, Mich. - The Northern Michigan University Men's and Women's Swim and Dive teams will compete at home against the UW Green Bay Phoenix. 

This will be the team's first meet since early December after the CSCAA Open Water National Championships and UW-Stevens Point meet were canceled due to bad weather. 

The meet against the Phoenix is scheduled for 1 p.m. in Marquette on Saturday, January 20th, from the PEIF pool.

The women's team currently sits at no. 8, and the men's team heads into the weekend ranked no. 7 across the nation in the D2 swim rankings.

Hear From Heidi Voigt
While the recently canceled meets have had an impact on the season, Voigt mentioned how the extra time off for rest and racing in practice might pay off more as the team focuses on quality rather than quantity when preparing for the GLIAC Championships. 

"Everything we do is more important on the techniques, and the finishes and starts. We start giving them more rest but asking them to go faster and do certain things. Our divers for sure at this point are not learning a lot of new dives, they're fine-tuning those dives, getting everything ready to go."
