Columbia, Mo. -- The Missouri women's swimming and diving team returns to their home pool this Friday, as they host the University of Kansas as a part of the annual M&I Bank Border Showdown. Tiger fans are encouraged to wear pink, as it is the annual Pink Out meet. The meet will begin tonight at 6:00 p.m., and admission is free.

Missouri currently holds a five-meet winning streak against Kansas, dating back to the 2006-07 campaign. Last season, the Tigers traveled to Lawrence, where they bested the Jayhawks 176.00-119.00

Missouri comes into the weekend after splitting with Kentucky and SIU in Carbondale, Ill. The Tiger women earned a 198.00-100.00 win over SIU and a close 152.00-147.00 loss to Kentucky.
