Old Dominion Women's Tennis Aims for Third Consecutive SBC Championship

As the Sun Belt Conference Tournament approaches, the Old Dominion Women’s Tennis team finds itself on the brink of history. This Friday, April 24, ODU takes aim at its third consecutive Sun Belt Conference Championship. Holding an impressive record of 16-4 with an undefeated 11-0 in the conference, the Monarchs are ready to take on either Arkansas State or Georgia State in Rome, Georgia.

Champions in the Making

The Monarchs have surged to a seven-game win streak, proving their dominance on the court. Their recent victory over Georgia Southern, with a decisive 4-1 score, only adds to their momentum. Ranked No. 46 in the ITA, ODU has shown consistent brilliance, with standout performances from players like Sofia Johnson, who is placing 24th in singles.

Head-to-Head Potential Battles

Georgia State brings recent energy from a 4-1 victory over Marshall, yet their overall record of 6-12 (5-5 in conference) suggests a tough competition against the flourishing Monarchs. On the other hand, Arkansas State, although suffering a road defeat against South Alabama, stands with a still-respectable 12-10 overall mark. They have yet to face ODU this season, which makes the upcoming match even more intriguing.

The Spotlight Awaits in Rome, Georgia

All eyes will be on the courts in Rome, with the first serve scheduled for 10 a.m. The match promises intensity and fervor as ODU looks to secure a spot in SBC history. Fans unable to attend can immerse themselves through ESPN+ and live stats available via iOnCourt.

As anticipation builds, the stage is set for a captivating showdown, where each stroke will echo Old Dominion’s relentless pursuit of excellence. According to Old Dominion Athletics, the Monarchs are poised to etch their names as legends of the Sun Belt. Let the games begin!
