GAMEDAY INFORMATIONGame 8: Jacksonville University (3-4) vs. Old Dominion (4-3) | Mar. 24, 2017 | Norfolk, Va. | 3 P.M. | @JUWLAX | #JUPhinsUp |TV: ODUSports.com ($) Live Stats: ODUSports.comQuote Board“We have been looking forward to conference play all year and are excited to hit the road for our game against ODU. This is the fifth year in a row we have competed against them and this may be their best team yet. They have some great attack threats and a stellar goalie. They run a great zone defense and create a lot of turnovers. Their players have a lot of skill and speed. We will certainly have our hands full with ODU who split the first place votes with us in the pre-season coach’s poll. We hope that our non-conference schedule has prepared us for what lies ahead.” – Head Coach Mindy McCord“If you would have told me that we would score 18 goals against Wagner and our starting midfield would have just one of the 18, I would have called you crazy! That was very uncharacteristic of that group. It’s a good thing we had three attackers with hat tricks and three others scoring goals. That’s what team play is all about. We have made a few adjustments to create more options and we hope that the midfield has a great outing like they did against Florida and Ohio State. I am sure this week the group will really gel all the way around. It would be nice to have six or seven viable weapons against a team as talented defensively as ODU is.” – Associate Head Coach Paul McCord#PhinLaxFacts
