he Old Dominion Athletic Conference has announced the 2016-17 ODAC Sportsmanship Teams in each of the conference’s 24 sponsored sports, and James River graduate Alex Wolfe was selected for the volleyball team. Wolfe is a rising sophomore at Roanoke College.

Each one of the honorees has been selected by the coaches in recognition of their conduct in the arena. My hat is off to these student-athletes – thanking them for the example they set for all of us.”
