Ohio swim and dive is back in action after a three-week break when they head to Huntington, W. Va. on Friday, Nov. 6 to take on Marshall. The meet is set to begin at 2 p.m. ET inside the Frederick A. Fitch Natatorium.

Ohio last competed Oct. 15-16 in Athens, defeating Southern Illinois, 193.00-57.00. Senior Zita Szoke was named the MAC Swimmer of the Week for the second time this season for her performance. Overall, Szoke placed first in three individual events and first in three relays, while also breaking her own school record. The event began with the 200 free relay, where Szoke broke her 50 free school record on the leadoff leg, finishing in 22.06 and improving her time by .04 seconds. Her efforts helped the relay place first with an overall time of 1:31.14.

Szoke returned in the 100 free, winning with a time of 47.89, before finishing the day in the 400 medley relay, where the Bobcats won with a time of 3:43.49. Szoke was back in action on day two, starting with the 200 medley relay where Ohio placed first with a time of 1:40.00. She then placed first in the 100 fly (53.29) and then closed out with a win in the 400 free relay (3:22.50).

Richards won three individual titles in the 100 free, 200 free and 500 free, and set the meet record in the 500 free with a time of 4:57.19, before concluding the competition with seven top-two finishes in the first competition of the year.

The Falcons are 5-1 (0-1) and opened their season in Indianapolis with five wins at the IU Indy Double Duals. In Indianapolis, BGSU defeated IU Indy (200-99), Bellarmine (239-53), Eastern Illinois (235-38), Xavier (216-74), and Butler (222-71). While unable to sustain their win streak against Akron (179.5-200.5) at home, they had some outstanding performances. Samia Becdach won three freestyle events and set a new school record in the 50 freestyle, while Natalia Mayorga swept the diving events. Both were named MAC Swimmer and Diver of the Week.

This weekend's order of events will follow the same structure as the NCAA DI Championship, with both the team dive and platform dive featured alongside the 1m and 3m dive.
