ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- The Navy men's swimming and diving team will place its undefeated record on the line Sunday when the Midshipmen play host to defending Eastern Intercollegiate Swimming League champion Princeton at 11 a.m. in Lejeune Hall.

The Mids enter the weekend with a 10-0 overall record and a 2-0 mark against EISL teams, while the Tigers are 3-2 on the year and have split their two meets with conference foes.

"Princeton is the class of the EISL," said Navy swimming head coach Bill Roberts. "We will have to swim our best Sunday to match them."

Princeton posted a 180-63 victory over Navy one year ago in Princeton, N.J. The lone Mid to win an event during last year's meet was Kevin Teague (Sr., Lexington, Ky.), who claimed the one-meter diving competition.

Navy picked up its 10th victory of the season with a 196-104 victory over Army, Nov. 30 in West Point, N.Y.

This marks the third-straight year in which the Mids have posted 10 wins in a season, the longest streak of double-digit victory campaigns by the program since achieving the feat in six-straight years from 1984-89.
