The dual will start at 1 p.m. ET at the Rose-Hulman Natatorium.

The Titans finished the 2024 portion of their schedule at the Carthage Classic, Dec. 5-7. Junior Natalie Porter (Danville, Ill.-Danville) placed second overall in the women's 1650-yard freestyle. The Danville, Ill. native saw a time of 18:22.90, slicing 22.32 seconds off her previous time this season.
