PEMBROKE – Good news continued for the UNC Pembroke swimming team on Thursday with the initial release of the SwimCloud.com computer national rankings. The Braves are ranked 3^rd among the nation's premier NCAA Division II swimming programs, while also boasting nearly 30 top-20 rankings in individual events.
 
The CollegeSwimming Dual Meet Rankings simulate teams in a head-to-head dual meet. Scores are calculated over nine individual events and two relays. Two scorers per event are included in the simulation that includes all meets over the last six weeks, and diving events are not included.
 
The Black & Gold is just one of five Conference Carolinas teams included in the organization's top-40 teams.
 
The Black & Gold will resume its 2023-24 campaign on October 21 when they host Wingate and No. 36 Chowan for a tri-meet at the Sue Walsh Swimming Pool. Competition is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.
