🔼 Postseason Push. The regular season comes to a close this weekend for BIG EAST volleyball and a league playoff spot is still up for grabs as Villanova hosts a pair of matches.

The Wildcats begin the weekend with a critical Friday evening bout against Connecticut then finish out the schedule with a Saturday afternoon affair opposite Providence.

The postseason scenarios are simple for Villanova this weekend: win one of the two matches and you're into the BIG EAST Tournament. A victory on either Friday or Saturday means VU will head to Milwaukee the following week for the league playoffs while two wins might just ensure the 'Cats a berth in this year's NCAA Tournament.

🏐 Previewing The Weekend

🔼 Eyes On The Prize. Later today, the Villanova squads will toe the line with the best teams in the area at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional in Bethlehem, Pa.

The women's championship race will begin at 12 p.m. ET, while the men's championship race will begin at 1 p.m. ET. Live results for the meet can be found here. 

Both programs are looking to punch their ticket to the NCAA Championships later this month in Missouri.

🔼 Rollin’ Along. Make it 3️⃣ in a row!

On Wednesday, the Villanova men's swimming and diving team earned another victory this season, defeating Rider at home with a final score of 166-132.

The Wildcats claimed 10 event wins and recorded 27 top three finishes in the matchup against the Broncs.

🏊 The Full Recap

🔼 Mighty Max. Less than a month into his collegiate career, freshman Max Kunisaki is already making headlines.

This week, Kunisaki was named the BIG EAST Male Athlete of the Week following his performance last week against Providence. He earned a pair of individual victories in Villanova's 187-73 win over Providence. He took first in the 50 Free (23.81) and the 100 Fly (56.55).
