OLD DOMINION MONARCHS WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

Sun Belt ConferenceD1-FBSwinter

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Old Dominion's women's basketball program operates from Norfolk, Virginia, where the university has served 23,469 students since its founding in 1930. Playing home contests at Chartway Arena, the Monarchs compete in the Sun Belt Conference and finished the season with a 15-12 overall record behind head coach DeLisha Milton-Jones, whose program scored exactly 69.0 points per game against conference opponents allowing 68.4. The team's home performance dwarfed its road struggles, compiling a 10-7 home record compared to just 5-5 away while managing only a 3-7 Sun Belt mark.

Milton-Jones directs a 15-player roster navigating a competitive mid-major landscape where possessions matter as much as volume. Old Dominion's near-parity in scoring and defensive efficiency—0.6 points per game separating the two figures—indicates tight contests where execution in critical moments determined outcomes. The Monarchs' seven-game home advantage difference reflects typical mid-major challenges in conference travel and scheduling, particularly within a geographically dispersed Sun Belt footprint that stretches across multiple states.
