"Our aim is high this year, so the second half of the season we will be working to improve our ranking."
For the second consecutive week Marlon de Bruijne was named the BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week.

Georgetown will travel to Norfolk with a 6-5 overall record and is 1-2 in BIG EAST action. The Monarchs and Hoyas last met during the 2019 season, when ODU won by a 3-0 score in Norfolk. The Hoyas are coached by Christy Longacre, who was a two-time All-American at Old Dominion.

Longacre was also the conference defensive player of the year on two occasions, earning the award in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) as a junior and in the BIG EAST as a senior.
