WALNUT, CA. - The NC State men's and women's swimming and diving teams are set to compete in their second scheduled meet of the 2026-27 season as they travel to Walnut, California, for the CSL Match No. 5 on Friday, Oct. 16, at the Mt. SAC Aquatic Center.
The meet is scheduled to begin at 8:30 p.m. ET and will be streamed live on ESPN+. Live results will also be available on Meet Mobile throughout the competition. For additional information, visit the official CSL website.
NC State will face Indiana, California and Stanford in the four-team matchup. The Wolfpack entered Match No. 5 ranked No. 6 in the CSL standings with 556.5 combined points. Nationally, the NC State men are ranked No. 7 and the women No. 9 in the CSCAA team rankings.
In its most recent competition, NC State recorded eight first-place finishes and posted seven top-10 times in program history. The Wolfpack will look to carry that momentum into Friday's matchup as they pursue a spot in the CSL Wild Card Match or Championship Meet and keep their season moving forward.
Should NC State advance, the CSL postseason meets are scheduled to take place in Indianapolis, Indiana. The CSL Wild Card Match is set for Nov. 6 at 2 p.m. ET, while the CSL Championship Meet will follow on Nov. 7 at 4 p.m. ET.
