Listen to the ODAC Podcast: May 6, 2010

Interviews with RC's Pilat and W&L's Diamond

The championship theme continues in this edition of the ODAC Podcast, and there’s plenty for Brad and J.J. to talk about.  Only the men’s lacrosse championship remains as teams prepare to tune in to the NCAA for selections to their respective NCAA Division III national tournaments.

Over the past few weeks, seven tournaments and championship events have completed, including those in men’s and women’s track, men’s and women’s tennis, baseball, softball and women’s lacrosse.  After overviews of those first six events, Washington and Lee women’s lacrosse coach, Brooke Diamond, and Roanoke men’s lacrosse coach, Bill Pilat, join the podcast to discuss the state of their teams and what to expect as the NCAA draws near.

Diamond is in the midst of her third season in Lexington, having led the Generals to the 2008 and recently completed 2010 ODAC titles.  W&L earned the ODAC’s automatic bid into the NCAA tournament, and waits to find out where and when it will play.

Newly crowned ODAC Coach of the Year Pilat and his Maroons square off with Lynchburg in the ODAC men’s lacrosse championship on Sunday.  Roanoke, ranked fifth in the nation and second in the region, is the #1 team in the nation in scoring heading into Sunday’s title game with the 15th ranked Hornets.
