🔼 Raising The Bar. Five years into program existence and the ODU volleyball team continues to raise the bar.

After tying a program record last season with single-season wins, the Monarchs are set to blow past that mark after breaking the record over the weekend with their 15th victory over the season. The best part? There’s still nearly a month left in the regular season.

ODU split on the road with Southern Miss to improve to 15-6 overall with a home series with Marshall on deck for next weekend.

🔼 Senior Salute. No better way to send off the seniors than with a W.

On a day in which the ODU field hockey team celebrated their six seniors pregame, the Lady Monarchs honored the group by grinding out a hard-fought 2-1 victory over App State to improve to 11-5 on the season.

Senior Tess Jedeloo scored the eventual game-winner in the first quarter, while classmates Frederique Zandbergen and Rina Tsioles earned the assist. Sian Emslie scored the first goal for ODU.

Up next for the Monarchs? A Friday home date with #8 UCONN to determine the BIG EAST regular season championship.
