The 11th-ranked and undefeated (7-0) Tennessee men's swimming and diving team travels to take on a top-25 team for the second consecutive week with a road battle against 12th-ranked Georgia (4-3) at the Gabrielsen Natatorium in Athens, Ga., Saturday.
The 7-0 start is the best since the Vols finished 11-0 in 2002.
"Without a doubt this will be the greatest challenge we have faced thus far," UT head coach John Trembley said. "Georgia has a great swimming tradition with one of the finest facilities in the country. They are a powerful squad with outstanding coaching, and on paper, this is a coin toss.
Not only does Georgia bring a top team in the lanes, but the Bulldog divers are a top-notch group also.
"Georgia has Chris Colwill who is the hottest diver in the country right now, and their swimming team has no weaknesses," Trembley added. "Unlike last year we are pretty healthy. We are, however, a very young team which has not really been tested and Saturday will change that.
The meet begins at 11 a.m., and live scoring can be found online at georgiadogs.com.
