📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Top 40 Hit. No no, we’re not talking about the newest Billboard music charts, we’re talking about the red hot ODU women’s tennis team.

The Lady Monarchs are winners of five straight and this week, they reached the highest ranking of the spring season at #39.

ODU is off to a 2-0 start in league play and is back in Sun Belt action this weekend on the road at Troy and Georgia State.

🔼 Primetime Player. Big time players make big time plays in big time moments.

That’s exactly what Sean Durugordon did for the ODU men’s hoops team during their run at the Sun Belt Tournament to earn All-Tournament accolades at the event.

In the tournament, Durugordon averaged a double-double, scoring 18.8 points and grabbing 12.5 rebounds per game. The redshirt senior made three steals and swatted six blocks while also shooting 46.4% from the field, 43.8% from deep, and 94.1% from the charity stripe whilst logging 37.8 minutes per game.
