The Canisius College men's and women's swimming and diving teams will compete in their first meet since the Christmas holiday when they take on the Gannon University Knights Saturday afternoon in Erie, Pa. The meet is scheduled for 1 p.m.

The last time the Griffs took to the pool was on Dec. 17 as both teams lost to the St. Bonaventure Bonnies at the Koessler Athletic Center as the women fell 163-77 and the men were defeated 171-72. The women's team set two-new school records as freshman Kelli Graber set the new program mark in the 50-yard freestyle clocking in at 25.40 while fellow freshman Anna Schena secured a time of 1:00.05 in the 100-yard butterfly race which is the new program-best. Sophmores Matt Moessinger and Tyler Carver both set team season top-times for the men as Moessinger earned a time of 4:46.96 in the 500-yard freestyle event and Carver swam the 100-yard breaststroke event in 1:01.08. Both teams have showed marked improvement from the first week in the season, as five school-records have been set between the two teams.

Canisius has had varied success against the Gannon Knights as the women have gone 0-2 while the men have a record 1-1 under head coach Scott Vanderzell. This will be the second-to-last meet the Griffs will compete in before the MAAC Tournament, which is co-hosted between Canisius and Niagara. The tournament will be held at the Burt Flickenger Center in downtown Buffalo on Feb. 17-19.
