🔼 Movin’ On. Former ODU standout Yuliia Starodubtseva has a chance at history this morning on the hallowed grounds of Wimbledon.

On Monday, she battled to a 1-6, 6-3, 6-1 victory in the first round of the Grand Slam Event and today, she takes on 19th-seeded Liudmila Samsonova for a chance to become the first former Monarch to reach the third round of Wilmbledon.

Last season, Starodubsteva reached the second round and earlier this year, she reached the third round at the French Open.

🔼 Howdy, Partner. The opening round pairings for the 2025-26 MAC-SBC Basketball Challenge – a scheduling alliance between the Mid-American and Sun Belt Conferences – were announced on Tuesday for both ODU basketball programs.

This year’s first round will be played on November 3, with Sun Belt men’s programs on the road and its women’s programs hosting.

ODU’s men’s basketball team will open up their 2025-26 season at Miami (Ohio), while ODU women’s basketball begins their campaign with a home game versus Kent State.
