KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- #8/#11 Tennessee swim and dive hosts its final dual meet of the season, as it welcomes #20/NR Duke to the Allan Jones Aquatic Center. This meet will also serve as the team's senior day, with eight student-athletes being recognized during the meet.

Bent-Ashmeil got the win in the 1-meter, with Shorter following that up with a win in the 3-meter for the Lady Vols.

Gabe Nunziata had a strong day for the men, earning wins in both the 100 and 200 Breast in the dual. Ulises Saravia moved up in the top ten in a pair of events for the Vols, moving to second all-time in the 100 Back (44.89) and seventh all-time in program history in the 200 Back (1:41.21). Gui Craibe picked up another win this season in the 50 Free, going sub-19.00 once again with an 18.93. Pedro Sansone and Nikoli Blackman went 1-2 in the 100 Free for the Vols and were also members of the 400 Free Relay team along with Caribe and Kamal Muhammad that won the event in Athens.
