🔼 Rollin’ On The River (City). On Tuesday night in the River City, the top of the ODU lineup did all the talking.

TJ Aiken, Kyle Edwards and Luke Waters, the top three hitters in ODU lineup, went a combined 9-for-16 with seven RBIs and seven runs scored to lead the Monarchs to a big 14-8 victory over the Rams of VCU.

10 different Monarch hurlers combined to strikeout 12 VCU hitters, with Kellen Davis tossing a perfect 1.1 innings to pick up the win.

On the year, the Monarchs are now 7-3 against fellow Commonwealth opponents.

🔼 Save The Dates. Get out those calendars, folks. We got dates to plug in.

This week, the ODU volleyball schedule for the fall was officially released with a loaded slate on the docket.

The upcoming season will see the Monarchs host two tournaments and play in two more. Non-conference play will see ODU squaring off with teams from the A10, AAC, ACC, Big 10, Big East, Big South, CAA, Ivy League, MAAC, MEAC and Patriot League.

🔼 A Year To Remember. Sure, the championships were incredible. The NCAA Tournaments were memorable.

But for ODU women’s tennis star Alex Viktorovitch, her collegiate tennis career means a little more.

It was during her freshman year with the Monarchs that Viktorovitch’s world changed and Max with Minium gave us an in-depth story of her and her family’s journey.

👏 WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT!

Sure, the championships, wins, trophies and so much more are awesome.

But this, this is what it’s all about! Congrats to all the Monarch student-athletes who earned their diplomas this past weekend!
