FB: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

[MRMIKESMITH]

Yeesh. That's an ugly end to a pair of ugly seasons. Those bottom 3 ODAC schools were putrid. I understand frustrations get bad at this point of a bad season, but it's not like either team has had any success recently. Guilford hasn't won more than 3 games in a season since 2017, and 2018 was the last time they won 2 ODAC contests in a year. Averett, in 4 years in the conference, has not won more than 2 ODAC contests, though they were 5-5 in 2023. But 2019 was the last time they were over .500, and that was in the USASAC.

I hope Roanoke and Bridgewater choose to play each other to fill in the gap. Roanoke went on the road and won 24-14 earlier this year. Wouldn't be a bad thing to replay that one and give both teams the final game they earned. Bridgewater isn't as bad as their record, couple of really close losses to Stephenson, Shenandoah and W&L, and the big win over H-SC shows the season wasn't a blowout, and Roanoke, as a new program, should be interested in playing another game for experience.

Could Roanoke and Bridgewater try for ECAC?

Could Roanoke and Bridgewater try for ECAC?

The ODAC is not an ECAC member conference.

No, but several ODAC schools are members. Va Wes is the top seed in the men's soccer tournament and someone else in the conference has played before, I just forget who.

Roanoke and Bridgewater are not playing a final game. Sucks for the seniors.
