Games Against USA South Sunday at Hampden-Sydney
SALEM, Va. --- For the fourth 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 22, on the campus of Hampden-Sydney
College. The women's contest will tip-off at 1:00 p.m. with
the men's match-up following at 3:00 p.m. Admission to the
game is free.
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 University hosted the first contest two years
ago while ODAC member Roanoke College welcomed the two games to its
campus in 2007. N.C. Wesleyan College served as the host
institution 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 at N.C. Wesleyan with the
ODAC earning the victory in the men's tilt, 112-105, and the USA
South claiming the women's result, 82-74. The outcome was the
same in 2007 at Roanoke College, and the ODAC swept both matchups
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 www.usasouth.net.
