NORFOLK, Va. – #53 Old Dominion men’s tennis travels to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, to challenge Gardner-Webb in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

The Monarchs play the Runnin' Bulldogs on May 1 at 2 p.m., and with a win, the team plays either top seed Wake Forest or Navy.

ODU enters NCAA play after claiming its fourth-straight Sun Belt Conference Championship on April 19, where freshman Zech Hamrouni downed his Troy opponent on court five, 6-1, 5-7, 6-2, to clinch the victory. He is the third-straight freshman to claim the conference championship for Old Dominion.

The Monarchs are 20-6 on the season and are one of 29 teams to play in the NCAA tournament for four consecutive years.
