The Golden Panthers opened the season last Friday against the University of Miami. The team will host Western Kentucky on Friday at 4 p.m. before FAU and FSU on Saturday at 11 a.m.

Florida State has participated in two meets this season and swim at Miami on Friday before traveling to FIU on Saturday. Christie Raleigh has won two consecutive ACC Performer of the Week Awards. This past week she won three individual events and was on two winning relays at the SMU Women's Classic.

The Owls' Lindsey Alexander won three individual events in FAU's first meet of the season against Villanova.
