UNIVERSITY PARK, PA. (Jan. 20, 2005) - The Penn State men's and women's swimming and diving team has announced a time change for Saturday's dual meet versus Rutgers at McCoy Natatorium.

Due to the weather forecast, the Nittany Lions and Scarlet Knights will begin competition at 11 a.m. instead of 1 p.m. at McCoy Natatorium. Attendance to the event is free to the public.
