At 10 a.m., the Monarchs will host Conference USA rival Charlotte, while at approximately 4 p.m. they will entertain soon-to-be Sun Belt Conference rival James Madison. Prior to the Charlotte match they will recognize two seniors - Yuliia Starodubtseva and Marina Alcaide.
"Senior Day is a special day. The contributions these two seniors have made to our program will have a lasting impact on ODU tennis for years to come," said ODU head coach Dominic Manilla. "I am excited to recognize and celebrate them Saturday morning."
