NORFOLK, Va. – On Monday afternoon, Old Dominion lacrosse head coach Heather Holt announced the addition of the nine newest Monarchs who have signed and will be taking the field at the L.R. Hill Sports Complex this upcoming spring. 
 
"With all of the challenges that the 2020-21 year will present, I am eager to get started with this group! I am very proud of the individuals that have made a commitment to our program for this upcoming season," Holt explained. "Their dedication, passion, and work ethic will prove that they are one of the most athletic and talented classes to join ODU Lacrosse.
