FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas will host Kansas Saturday morning in the team’s final meet of the regular season.

The Hogs will recognize their 10 seniors prior to the meet.

Arkansas is 5-3 this season and will enter the weekend on a three-meet winning streak. The Razorbacks last defeated then-No. 25 Houston at home, with sophomore Brooke Schultz setting the 1-meter school and pool records and the 3-meter pool record.

Maha Amer and Estilla Mosena’s second and third-place finishes in the 1- and 3-meter were personal bests for the divers and gave the team a podium sweep of the diving events.

In the swimming events, Arkansas recorded 12 wins and 23 podium finishes against the Cougars. Sophomore Peyton Palsha led the team with three first-place finishes.

Senior Marlena Pigliacampi set a season-best time in the 200 yard butterfly, winning the event in the first of her two podium finishes.

The Jayhawks are 6-0 this season, earning wins against two Power-5 opponents in TCU and Nebraska. This will be the 33rd time in series history that the teams will meet, with the series sitting at 16-16.

The Razorbacks have won the last nine meetings, defeating Kansas 180-120 last season.

The meet is set to begin at 10 a.m. in the HPER Natatorium, with senior day activities to occur prior to the first event.
