The ISU women’s swim team will make its home in Omaha and Lincoln, Neb., this weekend, with competitions taking place in the two cities Friday and Saturday.

The women’s swimming and diving squads will begin their competition Friday at the HPER Pool in Omaha against the University of Nebraska-Omaha.

The UNO Mavericks, a Division-II team, will swim against Iowa State as a precursor to a big matchup Saturday in Lincoln.

The women look to rebound after last week’s loss against Missouri by picking up a win against Nebraska on Saturday.

The Cyclones will travel into Lincoln on senior day, making the tough atmosphere even more of an obstacle for the Cyclone women.

However, they are no strangers to competition against Nebraska.

At the Big 12 Relays in October, the Cyclones placed fifth in their first meet competition of the year —  one spot ahead of the Cornhuskers.

The Cornhuskers are also coming off a loss to Big 12 opponent Missouri and will be more than ready to end their home season on a high note.

Nebraska has been a strong team at home in recent years, and a win Saturday against Iowa State would be its fourth home win of the year.

The ISU women will try to spoil the Cornhuskers’ senior day, as well as avenge a loss against Nebraska last year.

The Cyclones were defeated last year by a come-from-behind victory after leading 137–127 with only two events remaining.

The Huskers eventually captured victory in the 200-yard individual medley and the 400-yard freestyle relay to down the Cyclones 156–144.

With such a tough task ahead, Iowa State hopes to bring home a Big 12 victory from Lincoln and to have some positive momentum going into senior day Feb. 5 at Beyer Pool in Ames.
