Minium: Fred Chao Says ODU's New Women's Volleyball Facility Among the Finest in Conference USA

By Harry Minium

When Old Dominion University announced it would begin playing women's volleyball this school year, officials promised that not only would the Monarchs compete, they would be given the resources to win.

In large part because of the leadership of President John R. Broderick and Athletic Director Wood Selig, ODU now has a $3.5 million, 844-seat volleyball facility that is among the finest among mid-major schools.

The facility was recently finished and will open on Jan. 22, when ODU hosts George Mason, the alma mater of head coach Fred Chao.
