COLLEGE PARK, Md. - The Maryland swimming and diving team kicks off the 2012 portion of its schedule with a dual meet against Towson at 1 p.m. Saturday.

The Terps recently returned from a successful training trip in Delray Beach, Fla., after sweeping the annual Terp Cup to conclude the fall portion of their 2011-12 slate.

The Maryland women are 3-1 overall and ranked 25th in the latest CSCAA Top 25 poll. The Terps are paced by Megan Lafferty, Carolyn Fittin and Ginny Glover, who all boast at least four top 10 times in the conference this season.

The Terp men are unbeaten in their last two outings, topping UMBC in dual meet action and besting the field at the 2011 Terp Cup. John Hauser has recorded a Terp-best four top 10 times in the ACC this season, including NCAA B-cut performances in the 50 and 200 free as well as the 200 IM.

Following Saturday's action, Maryland travels to Pittsburgh for a quadrangular against the host Panthers, Villanova and Richmond Jan. 13 and 14.
