SCOUTING THE OPPONENTS
Florida State is 2-2-1 on the season and is coming off a loss to No. 22 Auburn Wednesday, January 20. Most of the Seminoles top times were set at the Georgia Invite when they faced off with Georgia and Georgia Tech in a three-day event. FSU went 1-2-3 in the 100 back and Rebecca Moynihan placed first in the 50 free, while Jenny Halden finished at the top in the 100 fly.

Tampa will get its first go as it has yet to compete in 2020-21. The 2019-2020 conference Swimmer of the Year Courtney Sherwood is back for her senior season. She was invited to compete in the 200 IM, 400 IM, 200 butterfly, and 200 backstroke at last year's NCAA championship. Sherwood is joined by four other swimmers who were recognized as All-Conference swimmers last season. 

AGAINST THE OPPONENTS
