NORFOLK, Va. – Old Dominion men's tennis head coach Dominik Mueller announced the schedule for the Monarchs 2021 Spring season, highlighted by squaring-off against a total of 12 opponents which finished last season ranked within the Top 75.
"Our team just can't wait to get back on the court and compete," said Mueller. "Everybody is eager to play competitive matches and I believe we did a great job putting a schedule together that is regional and responsible in times like this, but also competitive that pushes our guys and allows us to be nationally relevant again. We are fortunate, having scheduled 12 matches against teams that finished last year ranked in the Top 75."
ODU is slated to host eight matches at the Folkes-Stevens Tennis Center and will play a total of 12 matches against in-state programs.
"We are challenging our players especially early on by playing four Power 5 teams, but that's how we prepare our team for another run at the Conference USA Championships," Mueller concluded. "Playing Virginia and Virginia Tech both in one year is obviously the cherry on top. Again, we can't wait to start competing."
