PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Rutgers swimming and diving meet this weekend was canceled due to travel issues. The Scarlet Knights were set to compete on Friday and Saturday at Queens, but were unable to complete their scheduled travel to Charlotte.

The Scarlet Knights will compete next on Saturday, November 15, when the Scarlet Knights will travel to face an in-state foe, Princeton, at 11 a.m. That meet will be the sixth annual Battle For The Cannon Trophy.
