Notre Dame’s eight seniors will be honored before the evening session. Steven Crowe, Chris Kane, Andrew MacKay, Sam Pendergast, Rob Seery, Sam Stoner, Eric Swenson and Jay Vanden Berg will all be wrapping up the home portion of their careers.

The meet is scored as a dual meet between each participating school.
