NORFOLK, Va. – The Monarchs' (3-3, 0-2 C-USA) fourth-quarter comeback against FIU (5-3, 2-0 C-USA) came up short as ODU fell to the Panthers, 81-80 on Saturday afternoon at Chartway Arena.
Down 12 points at the end of the third quarter, the Monarchs put together a 19-7 run in the fourth quarter to tie up the game with just over three minutes remaining.
"Today was a tough loss for us because we battled and we had to fight through fatigue and we almost had to climb Mount Everest two days in a row and we came up short both times," said head coach DeLisha Milton-Jones.
