ODAC Women's Volleyball Report: Week 10

What a week for ODAC women's volleyball! Not only did the conference regular season come to pass with some highlight results no bigger than Lynchburg handing the first ODAC loss to table-topper Bridgewater, but then the weekend brought forth a resounding conclusion to the overall regular season. Washington and Lee highlighted that effort by going 2-for-3 in matches against ranked opponents including a four-set triumph over nationally top-ranked Centre College.

The ODAC Tournament is on tap for this weekend with top-seeded Bridgewater, second-seeded Washington and Lee, third-seeded Batten, and fourth-seeded Lynchburg hosting quarterfinal matches on Tuesday. Fifth-seeded Randolph-Macon heads to Lynchburg, while sixth-seeded Shenandoah goes to Batten. Seventh-seeded Roanoke heads north to WLU, and eighth-seeded Randolph treks to Bridgewater. Play continues with the semifinals on Thursday and the title match on Saturday. All matches are hosted by the higher seed in traditional 8-team bracket format.
