Pacific Welcomes UC Davis, Simon Fraser for Final Home Swim Weekend

STOCKTON, Calif. – The Pacific swimming program puts a bow on its home schedule, hosting UC Davis on Saturday at noon and Simon Fraser on Senior Day on Sunday at 11 a.m. at the Eberhardt Aquatics Center. 
 
The Tigers look to wrap up their busy January slate on a high note after completing their first of two home back-to-backs last weekend against Cal Poly and UC Santa Barbara. On Sunday morning, Pacific will be commemorating 15 seniors (nine women and six men) throughout the meet for their hard work and dedication to the program.
 
"These seniors are at the core of the championship culture we currently have on the team this year," head coach Katelyne Herrington said. "This group has helped me grow the program since I've been head coach and have been grateful for their trust, leadership and dedication to the team. I have the greatest amount of gratitude for them and the impact they have had on me as a coach and the program. I will miss this group and can't wait to see them make the same positive impact and growth in their next career!"
 
Senior Kelly Kermoian, one of the nine Pacific women being honored on Senior Day, put together a strong performance for the Tigers against the Mustangs and Gauchos. The native of Walnut Creek, California recorded a personal best in the 200 yard back with a time of 2:01.59 and set a season best (4:29.23) in the 400 yard IM in a first-place finish against UC Santa Barbara. 
 
"Pacific swimming has given me lifelong friendships and memories that I will carry with me for the rest of my life," Kermoian said. "Being part of this team has made my college experience unforgettable, and I'm so grateful to have been a part of an amazing group of people." 
 
Senior Aidan Vollmar, one of the six Pacific men being honored on Senior Day, has been a vocal leader throughout his five years as a part of the Pacific swimming program. The native of Orinda, California has been morale booster, guiding his team to a 5-3 women's record and a 4-2 men's record, which is the most wins in a season on both sides since the 2014-15 campaign.
 
"My time swimming for Pacific has been the most influential part of my life," Vollmar said. "From my freshman year all the way to my fifth year with the team, the unwavering support I've received from my coaches, teammates and trainers has helped me grow as an athlete and an individual. I'm so proud to be a part of the Pacific family and look forward to watching our swim program grow in the future."
 
Pacific clashes with UC Davis in a women's swim meet for a sixth straight season. The Tigers seek their first-ever win over the Aggies under Herrington's leadership, having met six previous times since the 2016 season.
 
Pacific and Simon Fraser lock horns for the third year in a row in Stockton. The Tigers have won the last two matchups since 2022. The men scored over 200 points in the first dual meet with the Red Leafs, claiming victory by a score of 206-107. 
 
Both meets will be streamed live on Overnght with Saturday's contest beginning at noon and Senior Day at 11 a.m. at the Eberhardt Aquatics Center. There is free admission both days.
