FOREST, Va. --- Washington and Lee University holds down the top seed in the 2015 ODAC Men's Tennis Tournament, as the Generals go in search of their sixth straight and 34th overall conference crown. W&L (12-7 overall, 10-0 ODAC) is followed by Virginia Wesleyan College (12-4, 9-1) as the second seed for the second year in a row.
Guilford College (10-4, 8-2) moves up three spots from 2014 to claim the third seed, while Bridgewater College (8-8, 7-3) is locked in as the fourth seed. Randolph-Macon College, Randolph College and Roanoke College tied at 5-5 in league play. Their deadlock persisted through the first three steps of the ODAC tie-breaking procedures, resulting in the need to use the conference's pre-determined lots to break the stalemate.
The Yellow Jackets (8-6, 5-5) will play out of the fifth position and will travel to BC for its quarterfinal match on Saturday, while the Maroons (8-7, 5-5) get the sixth seed and will make the trek to North Carolina to face the Quakers. The WildCats (8-7, 5-5) will play out of the seventh spot and will face Virginia Wesleyan in quarterfinal action. Shenandoah University (8-8, 3-7) earns the eighth seed outright and will travel down I-81 to play the top-seeded Generals.
Tournament action begins on Saturday, April 25, with each of the four quarterfinals scheduled at the campuses of the four highest seeds. Each of the four winners will play in the semifinals on Saturday, May 2, with the championship following on Sunday, May 3. Virginia Wesleyan will serve as host for the final three matches.
