ODU Shines with Men’s and Women’s Sun Belt Titles in Banner 2023-24 Season

Old Dominion University’s men’s and women’s tennis teams are gearing up for the NCAA Tournament with an impressive collection of trophies in tow. The teams, led by coaches Dominic Manilla and Dominik Mueller, have been dominating the competition, with multiple conference titles under their belt.

The men’s team, ranked 51st nationally, and the women’s team, ranked 66th, are set to face off against South Carolina in the upcoming tournament. Despite facing a rebuilding year, both teams have shown their strength and determination on the court.

The success of the tennis programs at ODU is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the players and coaches. The close-knit relationship between the men’s and women’s teams has created a supportive and competitive environment that pushes each player to excel.

The state-of-the-art Folkes-Stevens Tennis Center has also played a crucial role in the teams’ success, providing top-notch facilities for training and competition. With a roster of international players and a strong coaching staff, ODU’s tennis programs are making a name for themselves on the national stage.

The legacy of former coach Darryl Cummings, who tragically passed away last year, continues to inspire the teams as they strive for excellence. The recent victories in the Sun Belt Conference are a fitting tribute to Cummings’ dedication and passion for the sport.

As the teams prepare for the NCAA Tournament, the ODU community is rallying behind them, proud of their achievements and excited to see what the future holds for these talented athletes.
