Noke @ W&L on Wednesday.  Big ODAC Tourney seeding implications in this one.  Wish I could make it.

Yep. W&L really dropped the ball losing to RMC. They need to beat Noke. Shame the game against Lynchburg won't count for ODAC purposes.

I fully expect you all to take care of business on Wednesday and yeah that Randy Mac loss could haunt you all.  With an unlikely loss to Noke, you could drop from #1 to #4 in one week.  Yikes!

Yeah. W&L needs to get some momentum back. Haven't looked too close to see if anyone is hurt, but this was a bad point of the season to sputter a bit.

W&L and Noke end in 1-1 draw.  Pretty good game IMO.

This is more of a 2018 thing, but thought people here might be interested in a story on D3sports.com about a new conference coming in this region:
http://www.d3sports.com/notables/2017/06/new-conference-shuffle-coming

This was already posted in the Mid-Atlantic thread, but since there are impacts to the CAC and potentially the ODAC, I thought I would post it here as well.

There is also a link in the original article to a June 30th story confirming that the 5 CSAC schools have withdrawn.  I'm sure that more shuffling will follow.

Ugh!  Just when the ODAC makes adjustments to conference scheduling and finally gets two NCAA bids, they're going to add two weak soccer programs (Ferrum and SVU). 

Disappointing to say the least.

I don't think the ODAC will add SVa as a member institution. They added Ferrum 100% to solve the football scheduling problem.

The article may be wrong, but it does state that SVU has made "overtures" to the ODAC because they will not be a good fit for the CAC once Marymount and Wesley (2 smaller private schools) leave.  They get killed by the big D3 public schools.

The ODAC basically had an open application competition because they needed a football school. That process as the overture. Ferrum "won" or was chosen from that competition. SVa is going to have to look elsewhere. The ODAC has no need for another member, so unless they are going to throw SVa a bone for some reason above and beyond why they didn't get an invitation in this last round, the overtures have come to a conclusion.

When do the conference previews start to come out?
