August 29, 2022Washington and Lee University has been in this position before. The Generals won their second straight conference title last season, marking the fourth time in program history that they have claimed consecutive crowns.

New ODAC member Averett University (106) and Bridgewater College (102) both eclipsed the 100-point plateau to round out the top-five.
