A cold start was too much for the 91¶ÌÊÓÆµ women to overcome, falling 73-64 to Emory & Henry College Saturday afternoon in Harrisonburg. Even with a number of positive takeaways from the effort, the Royals slide to 1-2 on the year in the ODAC opener for both teams.

Playing with a young squad in their season opener, 91¶ÌÊÓÆµ's basketball women gave nationally-ranked Christopher Newport all they could handle before falling 63-50 at home Saturday evening. The Royals held No. 15 CNU to just 25 second-half points but couldn't overcome their halftime deficit.

Playing in their 2016-17 season opener, 91¶ÌÊÓÆµ's basketball men didn't do themselves any favors in an 88-71 road loss to Mary Washington. The Royals struggled to stop their opponents from scoring while also being cold from both the free throw line and three-point range in falling to 0-1.

91¶ÌÊÓÆµ's cross country teams wrapped up the 2016 season at the South/Southeast Regionals on the campus of Berry College Saturday morning. Both the men and women finished in the upper half of the large field of teams, although no individuals were able to earn a trip to next week's nationals.

In a year when talented freshmen flooded the Old Dominion Athletic Conference, 91¶ÌÊÓÆµ's soccer women were represented on the All-ODAC Teams by their high-scoring freshman, forward (Harrisonburg, Va./Eastern Mennonite).
