Thursday's college roundup: ODU seeks home for four non-C-USA sports
May 25, 2012|Daily Press
Old Dominion and Colonial Athletic Association officials on Friday are scheduled to discuss the future homes of four Monarchs programs that can’t compete in Conference USA, because C-USA does not sponsor those sports: wrestling, field hockey, women’s lacrosse and men’s swimming.
Friday’s discussions will be to gauge the possibility of permitting those programs to remain in the CAA as affiliate members. Wrestling is the only one of the four for which the CAA has affiliate members.
ODU athletic director Wood Selig stated a resolution for all four programs may not come until later in the summer.
Baseball:
Virginia scored on a bases-loaded hit batter and walk in the eighth inning to beat Clemson 3-2 in ACC tournament pool play. Kyle Crockett of Poquoson recorded four outs in relief for the win. …
At the CAA tournament in Harrisonburg, Towson, UNC Wilmington, Delaware and VCU scored triumphs.
Women’s golf:
Virginia is tied for third entering Friday’s final round of the NCAA championships in Franklin, Tenn.
Through 54 holes, despite a mistake of signing an incorrect scorecard that led to a U.Va. player’s disqualification from counting as one of the Cavaliers’ four ideal rounds on one day, Virginia was six shots behind first-place Alabama (877).
Men’s tennis:
Christopher Newport senior Eric Shulman went 1-1 in his last appearance in the NCAA Division III singles tournament in Cary, N.C., scoring his first victory in three tries at the event.
In the round of 16 in Cary, N.C., he lost 6-3, 6-1 to Rob Crampton of Bates. He had just 90 minutes of rest after overcoming a 3-1 third-set deficit to beat Patrick Lipscomb, a Redlands (Calif.) freshman, 7-6 (7-4), 0-6, 6-3in a morning match that went 2 hours, 30 minutes.

Alabama’s Alexa Guarachi and Courtney McLane, ranked 14th nationally, beat William and Mary’s Maria Belaya and Jeltje Loomans 7-6 (7-2), 6-3 in the NCAA first round in Athens, Ga.
Wrestling:
ODU hired Alex Dolly as assistant coach. He spent the past three years as a volunteer assistant at Michigan State.
He was a four-time NCAA qualifier for Northern Iowa and completed ninth at the 2011 world championships at 84 kilograms, competing for Ireland.
He replaces former Bethel and Great Bridge High wrestler Jon Sioredas, who returned to his alma mater, Chattanooga, as an assistant.
