🏈 HOME SWEET HOME
It’s been nearly nine months since the Monarchs stepped on the field at Ballard Stadium.
That changes on Saturday when ODU welcomes East Carolina to Norfolk for the 2024 home opener.
📈 STOCK UP
🔼 Show Stoppers. One things for sure, when you take the pitch with the ODU women’s soccer team, you’re in for a battle.
For the third time in the first six games of the 2024 season, the Monarchs defense pitched a shutout, blanking in-state rival, George Mason, 1-0, to improve to 4-2 on the year.
Sophomore Katie Lutz provided the game’s only goal, as she took a pass from Yuliia Khrystiuk and fired it home in the 27th minute of the contest.
From there, the defense took control, holding the Patriots to just two shots on the night.
🔼 Turkey In The Sun? Why Not! This November, the ODU women’s basketball program will enjoy Thanksgiving at the beach.
As part of the Daytona Beach Classic, the Monarchs will take on Ohio State on November 28th and Oakland on November 30th.
HELPING HANDS
Join the cause!
The annual campus and community-wide Monarchs Give Back campaign kicks off THIS WEEK!
As part of the campaign, ODU Athletics reps will be on hand to collect perishable items as part of the food drive that benefit Norfolk Public Schools children that are experiencing food insecurity.
This annual effort not only highlights the University's commitment to partner with the Hampton Roads community, but also shows the care and compassion of our University and the 757 as we come together to provide support.
This year, our goal is to collect 40,000 non-perishable items/monetary donations to benefit Norfolk Public Schools, ODU’s Monarch Pantry, and the Foodbank of Southeastern VA.
