A separate poll for mid-major schools was done by the ITA where Old Dominion finished second to Pepperdine. This is the highest the Monarchs have been ranked in history.
 
As a team overall, the Monarchs finished ranked 29th nationally as they ended with a 19-5 record and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Championships falling to eventual champion North Carolina.
 
In singles, Tatsiana Sasnouskaya finished the year ranked 25th after advancing to the second round of the NCAA Singles Championships and ending the season with a 22-6 record.

"There are so many people that work tirelessly towards our success. It is nice to be recognized," said ODU Head Coach Dominic Manilla.
