MUNCIE, Ind. - - Ball State women's swimming & diving head coach Laura Seibold-Caudill announced the team's 14-meet schedule for the 2011-12 season Thursday afternoon. The schedule includes eight meets at the Lewellen Aquatic Center, as well as four dual meets versus Mid-American Conference rivals.
"I am very excited for the season to get here," said Seibold-Caudill. "We made a lot of strides as a team last season and finished the year with 12 school records. We return a majority of our impact performers from a year ago and have added some very talented freshmen to the mix, which sets us up for a very exciting 2011-12 campaign."
Action in the 2011-12 season beings Oct. 22, when the Cardinals travel to Evansville. BSU will open its home schedule the next weekend with contests versus Milwaukee-Wisconsin (Oct. 28) and league rival Bowling Green (Oct. 29).
