The Runnin Royals ended the game on a 33-12 run, picking up a 74-68 road win at Hampden-Sydney Saturday afternoon. ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿'s basketball men (8-7/2-4 ODAC) got a much-needed victory in the rigorous Old Dominion Athletic Conference, snapping a two-game skid.

For 30 minutes, Eastern Mennonite and Virginia Wesleyan went back and forth, locked in an intense battle packed with 17 lead changes and 10 ties. But midway through the second half, something changed.

The Royals are catching fire. A lock-down defensive effort held visiting Washington and Lee to 15.5 points less than their season average as ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿'s basketball women claimed an impressive 71-54 win at home Tuesday night. Now winners of five straight, the women, 9-4 overall, stand in second place in the ODAC at 4-1.

ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿'s volleyball men have been picked No. 5 in the Continental Volleyball Conference (CVC) Coaches Preseason Poll, which was released today.

ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿'s young basketball women are learning an important lesson – how to win ODAC games on the road. The Royals gutted out a 68-59 decision at Randolph College on Saturday, earning their second straight conference road victory and fourth overall.

One had to figure ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿'s basketball men were due for an "off" game. Unfortunately, it paired with an "on" game for host Lynchburg College, resulting in a 104-74 loss Saturday afternoon.

With a large freshman class and new coaches at the helm, the ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ track & field program is struck with a level of competitiveness that will continue the solid foundation that has been laid for the team.
