Following this weekend's meet, the Mids will compete in their final dual meet of the season Jan. 21 at home against Columbia.

Navy Women (7-1)
This weekend marks Navy's return to the pool for the first time since the Mids defeated Army, 172.5-127.5, on Dec. 2 in West Point.  It was the 34th victory in a row for Navy in the series.

Navy will close its dual-meet season Jan. 21 at James Madison and Jan. 27 at home against Richmond. 

Notre Dame Men (2-1)
Notre Dame has compiled a 2-1 record in dual meets this season, winning meets over Pittsburgh and Penn State and losing to Louisville.  The team also placed third at the Ohio State Invitational in late November.

Notre Dame is ranked 23rd in the latest CSCAA national poll.

The Irish went undefeated in four dual meets last season, finished in eighth place at the ACC Championship and scored five points to finish in 33rd place at the NCAA Championship.

Navy and Notre Dame have meet in a dual meet just once before.  The Mids defeated the Irish, 159-84, in a Nov. 12, 1994, meet contested in Annapolis.

Notre Dame Women (2-1)
Like the men's team, the Notre Dame women's team enters the week with a 2-1 record after having defeated Pittsburgh and Penn State and dropping a meet to Louisville.  The Irish finished in sixth place at the Ohio State Invitational, a meet in which Navy placed ninth.

Last year's team placed sixth in the ACC Championship and scored six points to finish in 33rd place at the NCAA Championship.  Those postseason events came after the Irish tallied a 4-0 record in dual meets.

Notre Dame won the lone prior time the Irish faced the Mids in a dual meet.  The Nov. 12, 1994, meet on The Yard saw the Irish win by the score of 129-110.

Princeton Men (5-1)
Princeton began its 2023 schedule last week with a 231-65 victory over La Salle.  The remaining meets for the Tigers have been against Ivy League opponents.

Princeton totaled a 7-1 record last season.  The Tigers placed second at the Ivy League Championship and scored 14 points at the NCAA Championship to place 30th in the field.  

Navy has faced Princeton in dual meets more than any other opponent.  Columbia is second with 92 meets while Army and Penn are tied for third with 85 meets.  The Tigers hold a 70-25 advantage in the series that dates back to the 1914-15 season.  Princeton leads Navy, 32-13, in meets contested in Annapolis, but the Mids have won two of the last three and three of the last six meets between the teams that have been held on The Yard.  This recent span of meets in Lejeune Hall includes Princeton winning by five points in 2012 and three points in 2018.

The Tigers won the most recent meet between the teams, 208-92, which was contested last year at Princeton.  The teams last met in Annapolis in January 2020.  The Mids defeated the Tigers, 171-129, in that dual.

Princeton Women (4-2)
Princeton travels to Annapolis with a 4-2 record in dual meets this season.  The Tigers posted a 180-110 win over La Salle last week in what was their first dual meet in seven weeks.

The Tigers won eight of their nine dual meets last season and went on to place fourth at the Ivy League Championship.

Princeton defeated the Mids, 168.5-129.5, last season in New Jersey.  It was the second time the teams had met in a dual meet.  The Tigers also won the first meeting, 190-101, Nov. 22, 1997, in a dual contested at Rider.
