EVANSTON, Ill. – The Wildcats close the Big Ten regular season at home this weekend, hosting Iowa, Minnesota and Purdue at Norris Aquatic Center Friday and Saturday. Events start at 5 p.m. CT Friday and 11 a.m. CT Saturday.
Northwestern enters the quad meet off a strong showing in Madison last weekend headlined by the women's win over No. 17 Wisconsin. The Wildcat women (6-1, 2-1 Big Ten), who received votes in the latest CSCAA poll, and men (3-2, 0-2 Big Ten) get another crack at ranked competition this weekend with both Minnesota teams ranked No. 25 in the nation. Northwestern won both head-to-head matchups with the Gophers in Minneapolis last year.

Senior Ben Miller has led the way for the men and enters this weekend coming off first-place finishes in both fly events last weekend. Tyler Lu, Henry Schirmer and Aleksa Bobar also picked up wins in Madison.
