ODAC Men's Volleyball Report: Week 12

The final week of the ODAC regular season is here with most teams needing two more league matches to complete their ODAC slate of contests. Nationally 17th-ranked Randolph-Macon has created separation at the top of the ODAC table at 14-0. The Yellow Jackets are so far the only ODAC team with 20 or more wins at 26-4, but Virginia Wesleyan (19-8) will hit that mark with its next “W.” Roanoke also has a bit of separation for second at 11-2, but the Maroons are 1-of-2 league outfits that need three matches to complete their conference profiles. Lynchburg is 9-5 to currently sit third, while VWU and Randolph are locked at 8-6. EMU occupies what would be the sixth and final spot in the tournament at 6-8.

  • AHMED DIALLO | RANDOLPH | MIDDLE
    Diallo, a sophomore from Aurora, Colo., was an all-around performer for the WildCats to help Randolph pick up a pair of key ODAC victories at Averett (3-0) and over EMU (3-0).

  • KODY ROGAN | RANDOLPH-MACON | SETTER
    Rogan, a senior from Chesapeake, Va., helped keep the Randolph-Macon machine running with a stellar all-around effort to help the nationally 17th-ranked Yellow Jackets to a 3-0 week against ODAC competition.
