PRINCESS ANNE, Md. – With the majority of student-athletes on holiday break last week, action was limited for the University of Maryland Eastern Shore athletics program. There was just one team in action, women's basketball, who fell to Old Dominion in a hard fought match. Although the slow week, several noteworthy events took place, including the volleyball team being selected to play in the Nebraska Regional of the NCAA Tournament.

Let’s take a look at action from this past week:
