It'll be Senior Day as well, as the Wildcats will honor 12 members of the 2024 graduating class.
The Senior Day ceremony will begin at 10:45 a.m., with competition to begin at 11. Members of the senior class include Ian Brann, Owen Curry, Ben Cutforth, Isabella Grayson, Chale Jacks, Anna Jepson, Kostas Mateer, Cael McLaren, Emma Murtaugh, Sylvia Stewart-Bates, AJ Teixeira and Martha Tripsa.
The Wildcats previously hosted Queens (Sept. 30) and Old Dominion (Nov. 4) and last week competed at UNCW in their first meet since the winter break.
