🔼 10 Days Away. The time has almost come. We are just 🔟 days way, folks!

That’s right, the return of ODU basketball is right around the corner with the first round of the SBC-MAC Challenge set for Monday, Nov. 3.

The Monarch men’s squad hits the road opening night to take on Miami (OH), while the women are set to host UMass in their lid lifter.

🔼 Toe-To-Toe. Playing on the road is never easy. Taking on a top-5 team in the country is never easy.

Combine the two and that’s what the ODU men’s soccer team faced this week when they traveled to Morgantown to battle #3 West Virginia.

The Monarchs went toe-to-toe with the Mountaineers, but dropped a hard-fought, gritty 1-0 battle with one of the nation’s best teams.
