DURHAM, N.C.-- Sophomore Leaonna Odom gave Blue Devil fans an exciting preview of the upcoming season after her dominant performance in the NCAA Tournament.

The first-round game against Belmont was Odom’s third appearance in NCAA Tournament play. Odom started in both contests during her rookie season of 2016-17, helping the team to a substantial victory over Hampton University (94-31) before an eventual defeat by Oregon (74-65). Odom’s minimal collegiate experience had no effect on her performance, starting the Blue Devils’ tournament run by grabbing control of the court against the Bruins.
