NORFOLK, Va. – Former Old Dominion women’s basketball All-American Nancy Lieberman, who led the Monarchs to two national titles and is one of the nation’s most well-known women’s sports figures, will become the first person immortalized with a statue on ODU’s campus.
Old Dominion will unveil a six-foot bronze statue of Lieberman atop a two-foot base on Saturday, Nov. 5, at 9 a.m. Other than a bronze likeness of Big Blue, ODU’s athletic mascot, located in the Webb Student Center, there are no other statues on campus.
The statue will sit between the Mitchum Basketball Performance Center and Chartway Arena. ODU officials eventually hope that statues of other ODU athletic greats will also eventually be installed in the courtyard.
