🔼 Hall Of A Weekend. Five ODU legends will be forever enshrined in Monarch history this weekend.

Nick Mayers (Football), Dana Sensenig (Field Hockey), Chris Haywood (Men’s Soccer), Jim Ambrose (Baseball) and Andy Zucker (Strength Coach) make up the 2025 ODU Sports Hall of Fame class that will be inducted this evening at a dinner.

The group will also be introduced during tomorrow night’s football game at Ballard Stadium.

🔼 Under The Lights. After lighting up the scoreboard for 99 points over their past two games, the high-powered offense of the ODU football team is back at home for the first time in three weeks when the Flames of Liberty University come to town this weekend.

The Monarchs enter this week with the 16th-best rushing offense in the country, piling up an average of 245 yards per game through three games.

Kickoff at S.B. Ballard Stadium is set for 6 p.m.

🔼 Court Is In Session. With less than 50 days until tipoff, the ODU hoops programs hit the courts this past week for the first official week of practice for the upcoming 2025-26 season.
