March 11, 2024
Good Morning ODU Fam. Sure, the Lady Monarchs had eyes on a bigger prize, but the foundation has been laid strongly.
The majority of the ODU women’s hoops team were enjoying their first few years in school the last time 22+ wins were reached in three straight seasons.
Until now.
We’ll recap it all and much more! Check it out!

🔼 To The Wire. One thing for sure. This year’s Lady Monarchs is leaving it all on the court.
Three straight years with 22+ wins and ODU had its eyes on the ultimate prize, and gave top-seeded Marshall all they could handle on Sunday. But a strong second half by the Thundering Herd doomed the Lady Monarchs in a 76-70 defeat in the Sun Belt semifinals.
With 22 wins and a top-four finish in the Sun Belt, a call from the WNIT is expected to come early next week.
It marks the first time since 2005-08 that ODU posted 22 or more victories in three straight seasons.
🔼 Opening Act. After entering the ITA national team rankings for the first time this season, the ODU women’s tennis team celebrated in victorious fashion.
In the Sun Belt opener on Saturday, the Lady Monarchs coasted to a 5-2 win over visiting Marshall for their fifth victory of the spring.
Due to illnesses, ODU had to play with only five players and still came out with the gritty win.
🔼 Three’s Company. It may have been the weekend, but it was all business for the ODU sailing squads.
Not one, not two, but 3️⃣ three races filled up the weekend for the Monarchs.
ODU finished in in the top-3 in two of the three races.
