KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The No. 4/12 Tennessee swimming and diving team is back in action Saturday as it takes on the No. 8/11 Georgia Bulldogs from UGA's Gabrielsen Natatorium.

The meet will be aired on SEC Network+ beginning at 11 a.m. ET. Live results will be available on GeorgiaDogs.com and the MeetMobile App.

This will be the second meeting between the two programs this season after UGA came to Knoxville in November for the Tennessee Invitational. On the women's side, the Lady Vols finished ahead of the Lady Bulldogs 1,068.5-984.5. In the men's competition, the Bulldogs emerged in front by a score of 961-839.5.

In dual meets, the Vols and Bulldogs have split the last three meetings 1-1-1, with UT winning last season 156-144 and UGA winning in 2017 172-128. The men's squads tied in 2018 150-150.

The Lady Vols have gone 1-2 against the Lady Bulldogs in the last three dual meets, but won at home a year ago 170-130.

This is the final road dual meet for Tennessee who enters the weekend undefeated on both the men's and women's sides. The Vols have knocked off three top 25 teams this season while the Lady Vols have taken down four such opponents.

Combined, Tennessee holds 23 of the nation's top 15 times across multiple events with 15 of those times ranking inside the top 10.
