Rochester, Mich. - The Oakland men's and women's swimming and diving teams hope their years of storied success in the Summit League transition with them to the Horizon League for the 2013-14 campaign, as the program announced its 2013-14 competition schedule Tuesday (Aug. 13).

The Golden Grizzlies will begin the season at Michigan Sept. 28 before returning home for an action-packed October at the OU Aquatic Center.

Other highlights on the Golden Grizzlies' schedule are trips to Michigan State Jan. 23 and a five-team meet with Ohio State, Ashland and Cincinnati at Kenyon College Jan. 17-18. Oakland will also travel to Duquesne (women), Eastern Michigan for a November dual and an invitational in December, and IUPUI.

The 2014 Horizon League Championships will be hosted by Cleveland State University Feb. 26-March 1. NCAA Diving Zones are slated for March 7-8 at Ohio State. Women's NCAA Championships will be held March 20-22 in Minneapolis, Minn., while the Men's NCAA Championships will follow on March 27-29 in Austin, Texas.
