Hollins College Sports News

By virtue of her stellar performance in last weekend's Hollins Invitational Golf Tournament, Elizabeth Cheng was named ODAC Women's Golfer of the Week.

After a great start to the 2011-12 season, the Hollins swim team took their 3-1 record on the road for a meet with Davis & Elkins College.  The meet with the Division II Senators was the second time this season that Hollins stepped out of DIII to face an opponent. 

The Hollins University basketball team enjoyed a breakthrough year in 2010-11, winning more games than in any season since 2002. Coach Jim Phillips looks to build on last year’s success as he starts his second season at the program’s helm.

On an overcast Saturday afternoon, Hollins hosted Virginia Wesleyan College on the grass of Moody Field.  It marked only the second home contest for Hollins, who came in looking for their first ODAC win of the season. 

The Hollins University soccer team traveled back to North Carolina for the first time since a season opening trip to Raleigh and Greensboro.  Hollins faced Salem College on Wednesday afternoon looking to break a three game skid. 

Hollins capped a three match run at home by sweeping Mary Baldwin College on Saturday afternoon.  It marked the second sweep of the Squirrels in as many days. 

The Hollins University tennis team started the season by being tabbed second in the ODAC preseason poll and on Friday morning they solidified their selection by defeating Bridgewater College in the semifinal round of the 2011 ODAC Women's Tennis Tournament. 

Hollins took the court for the final time in 2010 when they traveled out of conference to face Peace College on Sunday afternoon.  Hollins looked for revenge as the Pacers came from behind to beat Hollins in Roanoke one year ago. 

After hosting the defending ODAC champs on Monday night, Hollins traveled to Randolph College looking to get back on the winning track Wednesday night and when it was all said and done, Hollins came back home with a 80-53 ODAC win.
