BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Old Dominion advanced to the quarterfinal round of the 2016 Conference USA Women’s Basketball Championship after defeating North Texas for the third time this season, 62-55, on Wednesday afternoon at Bartow Arena. The Lady Monarchs will take on No. 4 seed Charlotte at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow.
"The first game is always the toughest," said head coach Karen Barefoot. "I kept telling our team to relax, even when North Texas took the lead late in the fourth quarter. We were out of sync for a little and I am really proud that we didn't fold when they took the lead.
