34th straight win over the MSU women, a streak that dates back to 1986-87. Michigan has a 43-2 advantage in the all-time series.

The #3 Michigan Men finish the dual season with a 6-1 record. Their only loss was to #5 Indiana on the road in November which was later avenged in a rematch at Canham last month. 

The Michigan Women--the #1 team in the land--finish a perfect 6-0. The Wolverines have not lost in 4 years: a 28 dual meet winning streak. 

Next up for both teams is the First Chance Meet at Canham Natatorium in 2 weeks where various swimmers will look to improve their times in hopes of bettering their NCAA selection chances.
