===The CAA years===
In 1990 the Monarchs were taken over by [[Pat McMahon (coach)|Pat McMahon]] who in his first year led the team to the [[1990 NCAA Division I baseball tournament|1990 NCAA tournament]]. The Monarchs then transitioned to the [[Colonial Athletic Association]] in 1992. McMahon again led the Monarchs to the NCAA tournament in [[1994 NCAA Division I baseball tournament|1994]] after winning the CAA tournament. Both times McMahon led the Monarchs to the NCAA tournament he had 40 win seasons. McMahon left ODU after the 1994 season to become the associate head coach at [[Mississippi State Bulldogs baseball|Mississippi State]]. Tony Guzzo was hired from [[Virginia Commonwealth University Rams baseball|VCU]] in 1995 after McMahon left ODU and led the Monarchs to back-to-back CAA titles and NCAA tournaments in his first two seasons at the helm. Between Coach McMahon and Coach Guzzo the Monarchs had the 21st best winning percentage (.660) in the NCAA during the 1990s tied with [[Texas Longhorns baseball|Texas]] and ahead of teams like [[USC Trojans baseball|USC]] and [[Mississippi State Bulldogs baseball|Mississippi State]].<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/baseball_RB/2014/D1.pdf {{Bare| title=Division I - Baseball URLRecords PDF| access-date=March 20222024-06-03}}</ref> In 2000 Guzzo again led his team to the post season earning an at-large bid to the [[2000 NCAA Division I baseball tournament|2000 NCAA tournament]].
