Games Against USA South Sunday at N.C. Wesleyan
SALEM, Va. --- For the third consecutive year,
the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) and the USA South
Athletic Conference will be bringing extra exciting basketball to
the region. The ODAC/USA South Senior Basketball Challenge is
set for this Sunday, March 16, at the Everett Gymnasium on the
campus of N.C. Wesleyan College. The women's contest is set
for 1:00 p.m. with the men's match-up following at 3:00 p.m.
Tickets are $3 and can be purchased at the game.
Inaugurated in 2006, the ODAC/USA South Senior Basketball Challenge
provides graduating seniors from each of the conferences' schools
an opportunity in the collegiate forum one final time. USA
South member Averett College hosted the first contest two years ago
while ODAC member Roanoke College welcomed the two games to its
campus last season.
The event also features the theme "Sportsmanship
Counts." The games are intended to place the importance
of sportsmanship and the values of fair play.
The conferences split last season's games with the ODAC earning the
victory in the men's tilt, 108-99, and the USA South claiming the
women's result, 84-77. The ODAC won both match-ups in the
2006 event at Averett.
Below you will find full men's and women's rosters for both
conferences. For more information, please contact the ODAC
office at 540-387-9073, or the USA South office at
910-630-7326. You can also visit the homes of both
conferences on the Internet at www.odaconline.com and
