The Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) announced their weekly award winners on Monday afternoon. Roanoke College would take both the ODAC Men's and Women's Lacrosse Players of the Week awards.

Libby Bowman was named ODAC Women's Lacrosse Player of the Week after the Maroons picked up a pair of ODAC wins. In a Wednesday afternoon win over Lynchburg, Bowman scored at the start of the first, second, and fourth quarters in a 13-5 win over the Hornets. On Saturday in Winchester, the sophomore from Salem scored three consecutive gaols. The Maroons were clinging to a one-goal lead late in the third quarter. Bowman scored to end the period and added two more in the opening stages of the fourth to help Roanoke pull away for the 14-8 ODAC win. Bowman now has 13 goals and two assists on the season for a Roanoke team that is currently sitting in 3rd place in the conference standings with a 3-1 mark.

Luca Docking was named ODAC Men's Lacrosse Player of the Week. The men's lacrosse team exacted a bit of revenge over a Bridgewater team that knocked them out of the 2021 ODAC Tournament with a 19-14 win on Wednesday night. Docking accounted for eight scores with five goals and three assists while picking up three ground balls. On Saturday in a come from behind win over Randolph-Macon, 18-14, the sophomore from Maryland scored the game tying and eventual game winning goal in a fourth quarter that would see the Maroons erase a three-goal deficit. Docking added six more scores and two assists in the ODAC win and Roanoke is currently in 2nd place with a 5-1 conference record. Docking currently has 23 goals and 23 assists and his 43 total points are 10th in the ODAC.
