The result highlights Old Dominion’s continued dominance in the conference and marks another milestone for the program. Head Coach Dominic Manilla said, “Well done to all involved in bringing this championship home. I’m so proud of this incredible group of women. Through thick and thin they stayed the course all season long. We played arguably our best match of the season today in the conference title match. I’m so happy for this group and excited to get ready for NCAA’s.”
