ODAC Field Hockey Report: Week 8

The last week of the regular season may be staring us in the face, but results from the past week certainly moved the needle in the ODAC table. Lynchburg won twice to move to 6-0 in conference play along with No. 19 Washington and Lee, setting up a midweek showdown for first place in Lynchburg. Randolph-Macon went 1-1, but that one win was over No. 22 Shenandoah which, if everything plays out with both teams finishing with two league losses, would leave RMC with the head-to-head advantage in tiebreakers. SU leads the league in most overall wins (12-3) with LYN (11-5) and WLU (11-3) both on 11.
