ALL-TIME SERIES: This weekend's dual-meet matchup will represent the 29th meeting between the Eastern Michigan University and Oakland University men's swimming and diving programs and will be the 24th meeting between the women's squads.
On the men's side, the Eagles hold a convincing 22-6 advantage over the Grizzlies with their last meeting dating back to Jan. 8, 2011, where the Grizzlies topped EMU 184-116 on the road.
The women's swimming and diving program first faced the Grizzlies in the 1977-78 campaign where the Green and White came out on top, 89-42. Since their innagural meeting, the Eagles own a 15-13 overall record against OU and last faced the Grizzlies Jan. 8, 2011. The Eagles dropped a 151-149 decision to OU after the Grizzlies went 1-2 in the final event of the day to steal the victory.
SCOUTING THE GRIZZLIES: The Oakland University men's swimming and diving squad currently sits at 3-4 on the season with victories over Cleveland State, Wayne State and Wright State.
The women's team is 4-4 on the year with wins against Cleveland State, John Carroll, Wayne State and Wright State.

The quartet of Matt Zavislak, Dexter Foos, Gus Everson, and Brian Moore represented the Eagles' final first place finish of the afternoon, as the 400 Freestyle Relay team put together a 3:11.97 effort.
