🔼 For The Seniors. No way to send off your seniors than with a W, right?

That’s exactly what the ODU football squad will be looking to achieve on Saturday when the Panthers of Georgia State roll into town for the regular season finale.

Coming off a dominating road win at Georgia Southern last weekend, the Monarchs will be looking to reach nine regular season wins for just the second time in the program’s FCS era.

Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. at Ballard Stadium.

🔼 Poll Position. Rolling to a 5-2 start to the 2025-26 season, the ODU women’s basketball squad has earned a #20 ranking in this week’s Mid-Major Top 25 poll, announced this week by College Insider.

The Monarchs have the fifth-best offensive rebounding output in the nation (18.8) and are the seventh best in total rebounding (49.33). ODU grabs 30.5 defensive rebounds per game to rank 29th in the nation. ODU’s success in the full court press has been a key factor in ranking 31st in the nation with 12.8 steals per game.
