Optima Health Challenge

During the year, the Colonial Athletic Association foes will face off 15 times, with each event being worth 10 points. The Monarchs and Tribe will compete head-to-head in football, men's and women's swimming, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's tennis, field hockey, baseball and women's lacrosse. The winner will be the school with the most points upon the completion of the baseball three game series in April.

Along with the all sports challenge, the annual football contest will be the "Battle for the Silver Mace", with the winner presented a replica of the Norfolk Mace. The Mace is currently being held in the Chrysler Museum of Art, located in Downtown Norfolk. The Norfolk Mace was presented to the Norfolk Common Council by Royal Lt. Governor Robert Dinwiddie in 1754 to acknowledge that Norfolk was one of the most loyal provinces to King William. Old Dominion University won the inaugural game by a score of 35-31.
