The women set six pool records on the way to beating Duke by a 196-104 score, and the NC State men took the meet by a 198-102 decision. The Pack won all but two of the swimming events in the victories over the Blue Devils and swept nine events.

PACK IN THE POLLS:
After a solid start to the 2018-19 campaign that saw both teams win their first two dual meets of the season, the NC State men's and women's swimming and diving teams each earned No. 4 rankings in the latest College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) national poll.

The Wolfpack women made an impressive jump in the poll, bettering their preseason ranking of No. 11 by seven spots. It marks the highest ranking for NC State's women since the team started the 2016-17 season ranked No. 4. The Pack men maintained their hold on the No. 4 ranking that they received in the preseason.

UP NEXT:
NC State will return to the state of Indiana next weekend to compete at the IU Invitational, which is set to run Nov. 15-17 at the Counsilman Billingsley Aquatic Center in Bloomington.
