UTEP dodged a major bullet in the quarterfinals, and will get a rematch with #5 seed Old Dominion in the C-USA Tournament semifinal round Friday morning.
Old Dominion (16-16, 10-8) held Charlotte to just 54 points, while the Lady Monarchs star Jennie Simms scored a game high 24 points in ODU's 57-54 quarterfinal win.
The Monarchs have won four straight, and held each opponent to under 60 points during the win streak.
UTEP won the lone regular season meeting 70-64 in a physical slug fest back in El Paso which should also be expected in Friday's semifinal game.
