The Nebraska swim and dive squad returns home to take on the Omaha Mavericks on Wednesday at 4 p.m. (CT) at the Bob Devaney Natatorium.
The Huskers are coming off two dominant performances at the Hawkeye Invitational and the Rutgers Invite.
At the Hawkeye Invitational, Maia Hall and Gena Jorgenson led the Big Red to a second consecutive team title. Frankie Webb and Kelsey Clairmont shined at the Rutgers Invite to help the team place second.
Maia Hall raced to a school record in the 100 breaststroke (59.97), becoming the first Husker to break a one-minute time. The senior from Whitby, England clocked 2:11.58 to take the title in 200 breaststroke, leading her to sweep the breaststroke events at the Hawkeye Invitational.
