Otterbein captured the 2013 OAC Championship title after posting a three-day total of 1,213 strokes to win by three shots over Mount Union. The tournament win was Otterbein's fourth in the last five years, and 11th since 2000.

For the fourth consecutive year Otterbein also claimed the OAC Regular-Season trophy, which is a combination of scores from the OAC fall and spring tournaments.

At last year's championship, Mount Union tallied 1,216 strokes to finish second, followed by John Carroll with 1,229, Ohio Northern with 1,235 and Capital rounded out the top five with 1,239 strokes.

Otterbein will look to defend their title with the help of senior Matt Mosca (Delaware/Rutherford B. Hayes), who finished third a year ago with a score of 301.

Mount Union will be led by senior Ben Lehrke (North Ridgeville/Lutheran West) who turned in a score of 303 to tie for fifth place with Ohio Northern sophomore Rick Deichert (Perrysburg/Maumee Valley Country Day). Also, returning for the Purple Raiders will be senior Dillon Bright (Granville) who finished seventh with a score of 305.

John Carroll will return senior Alex DiPalma (Waite Hill/Mentor Lake Catholic) who took home medalist honors a year ago with a score of 299. The Blue Streaks also return sophomore Nick Boccio (Snyder, N.Y./St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute) who tied for ninth place with a score of 307 along with Capital sophomore Daniel Shafer (Hilliard/Hilliard Davidson).

The top-10 finishers receive All-OAC honors.

Tee times begin at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, 9:00 a.m. on Saturday and 11:00 a.m. on Sunday.
