YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – Eastern Michigan University head swimming and diving coach Derek Perkins announced the Eagles' 2023-24 schedule today, Aug. 14. The slate includes a total of nine meets with two home meets which are set to take place in the long-awaited renovated Michael H. Jones Natatorium. The team will spring off the board with its annual Green and White Scrimmage, Sept. 30, while also hosting the Senior Day Extravaganza meet, Feb. 3, in its home pool.
"There are so many things to look forward to with the upcoming season," said Perkins. "We are back in the new and improved Jones Natatorium and we have a very large and very talented group of new comers that will add to our core group of returning athletes which all equals to a very exciting team dynamic. I can't wait to coach this group. It's going to be a fun year" he concluded.
The Eagles will begin their fall schedule with a non-conference meeting at the University of Kentucky, Oct. 13. Mid-American Conference matchups will start Oct. 28 as the Eagles play host to Miami University in their home-opener. The following Friday, Eastern will make its way to the Hoosier State to compete against Indiana State University, Nov. 3, before participating in a tri-meet with both Ball State University and Butler University, Nov. 4.
The team is set to continue its road slate with a duel meet at Oakland University in Rochester, Mich., Nov. 16 as it readies to participate in the annual Denison Invitational hosted by Denison University, Nov. 30-Dec. 2, in Granville, Ohio.
Eastern will start back up for its winter schedule when the Eagles travel to Akron, Ohio, for a meet against the University of Akron, Jan. 19. The Green and White will continue its January slate with a home duel, playing host to Bowling Green State University, Jan. 26.
The month of February will see the team celebrate two seniors during its Senior Day Extravaganza intra-squad, Feb. 3. After the honoring of seniors, Eastern will conclude its competitive regular season at the OSU Winter Invite hosted by Ohio State University, Feb. 9-11.
The postseason will begin for the Eagles when they travel to Athens, Ohio, for the MAC Championships, Feb. 28-March 2, hosted by Ohio University. From there, any qualifying members of the team will participate in the NCAA Championships, expected to be held in Athens, Ga.
