The 10th-ranked Tennessee swimming and diving team welcomes No. 11 Georgia and No. 12 Indiana to Knoxville on Saturday for a double-dual meet.
The Vols (4-1, 1-0 SEC) recently ascended from 15th to 10th after defeating a top-10 foe in Virginia on Jan. 8. Tennessee's lone loss of the year came at the hands of the eighth-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes.
Georgia (3-3, 0-1 SEC) comes into Saturday's contest off a loss at No. 1 Texas. The Bulldogs' other losses came to No. 5 Florida and 10th-ranked North Carolina.
Meanwhile, Indiana (4-2-1, 3-0 Big Ten) heads to Rocky Top with a big win over 13th-ranked Michigan. The Hoosiers topped Kentucky early in the season and tied the top-ranked Longhorns at home in November. However, IU dropped a 194-159 decision at Virginia before the semester break.
After Saturday, Tennessee will have faced six ranked opponents in competition this year with one still remaining on its schedule as the Vols travel to face SEC foe and fifth-ranked Florida next Saturday.
Action is slated to begin at noon on Saturday at Tennessee's Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatic Center. Tennessee's senior class of 2011 will be honored before the meet begins. Live stats are available at www.JonesAquaticCenter.com.
