NORFOLK, Va. – Old Dominion women's soccer head coach Angie Hind announced the Monarchs schedule for the 2021 season, which will begin on Thursday, Feb. 4 against East Carolina at the ODU Soccer Complex.
In all, ODU's schedule entails a total of 13 matches, with six of those being played at home, highlighted by a Sunday, March 14 game against Virginia at the ODU Soccer Complex. In addition to hosting ECU and UVA, the Monarchs will also welcome Liberty, Middle Tennessee, Florida Atlantic and Western Kentucky.
"As a team, we are so very excited to get on the field and compete," said Hind. "This group has worked incredibly hard throughout the fall and over the holidays to come in ready for a competitive spring season and so we wanted to make sure we set up a strong schedule to really challenge ourselves. We have some really great opponents this spring, both non-conference and in C-USA play. The conference schedule has been split into an East and West region with four teams qualifying for the tournament from each group. Given the teams we have in our region, it's going to be a very competitive conference this spring. I think we are all just excited to get out there and test ourselves against some great regional and C-USA opponents this spring."
Old Dominion's slate features six matches against Conference USA opponents. The 2021 C-USA Tournament will take place April 13-17 on the campus of Rice in Houston, Texas.
A season ago, ODU compiled 10-4-4 overall record. After going undefeated against non-conference opponents, the Monarchs ended league play unbeaten in six of their last seven matches.
