HOUSTON, Texas – The Old Dominion (24-6, 14-4 C-USA) women's basketball team dropped a 73-70 heartbreaker to Rice (21-8, 16-2 C-USA) in the final game of the regular season. Behind a career-high 29 points, junior Victoria Morris tied the game with 39 seconds to go. Two pair of drained Owl free throws was too much to comeback from for the Monarchs, despite another Morris triple.
ODU will head into the C-USA Tournament in Frisco, Texas next week as the two seed.
