FOREST, Va. --- Nationally 17th-ranked Randolph-Macon College completed the fifth* unbeaten conference regular season in 43 years of ODAC women's basketball on Saturday to extend the Yellow Jackets winning streak to 23 straight games and power their run to the top seed in the upcoming ODAC Women's Basketball Tournament.

Randolph-Macon (24-1, 16-0) has not lost since its second game of the season (11/16/24 vs. Gettysburg College) on the way to the fourth-longest active winning streak in Division III women's hoops. RMC finished two games clear of Bridgewater College (21-4, 14-2) and 20th-ranked Washington and Lee University (22-3, 14-2) in the ODAC table. The Eagles and Generals tied for second with BC's 63-49 win over WLU in December awarding Bridgewater the #2 seed in the conference's eight-team field via the first step of the league's tiebreaking procedures. Washington and Lee will play as the three seed.

Before Saturday's results, the potential for additional ties existed up and down the ODAC standings. Shenandoah University (16-9, 11-5) steered clear of any of those scenarios to wrap up fourth position outright and joined RMC, BC, and WLU as quarterfinal hosts on Tuesday in the conference's new tournament format.

The second stalemate in the table featured Roanoke College (13-12, 9-7) and Guilford College (15-10, 9-7). The Maroons fell at Washington and Lee on Saturday while the Quakers earned a win over Hollins University to cap ther regular season and leave RC and GC tied at 9-7. The two squads met once in the ODAC's unbalanced schedule with Roanoke posting a 73-68 victory in January to win the head-to-head tiebreaker and gain the fifth seed ahead of now sixth-seeded Guilford. The Maroons will play at SU in the quarterfinals, while the Quakers head to WLU on Tuesday.

The last two spots in the field also needed tiebreakers to determine. Ferrum College (13-12, 7-9) dropped its regular season finale at Bridgewater, while Randolph College (12-13, 7-9) earned a road triumph at Virginia Wesleyan University. That left the Panthers and WildCats tied for seventh place in the league table. FC earned a 35-30 home win over Randolph two days prior to Thanksgiving to clinch the tiebreaker and garner the tournament's seventh seed. The Panthers will play at Bridgewater on Tuesday in a rematch of their final regular season tilt, while the eighth-seeded WildCats travel to Ashland for a quarterfinal showdown with Randolph-Macon.
