Coach Quote
I can't believe it's already senior day and the last home match of the season. I think we are starting to play our best tennis the year and the timing is perfect for that. Playing a rivalry match in JMU adds to the excitement as they also had a strong first year in the Sun Belt. 
Sending out the seniors one last time will be special. This group gave so much to ODU for the last five years and have been the core of this team during that time. It will be an emotional day, but we are looking forward to sending them out in style. – ODU Head Coach Dominik Mueller.
