Herd women’s basketball falls short to ODU at home

Marshall University’s women’s basketball comeback fell short 64-54 to the Old Dominion Monarchs on Saturday in the Cam Henderson Center.

“You have to begin by crediting Old Dominion,” Head Coach Tony Kemper said. “That’s one of the better teams in our league. I thought they were here ready to play, and the flip side is I do not think we showed up today with the effort that it takes to be beat a conference possible champion.”

The Herd fell to 11-15 (No. 8 in Conference USA), while the Monarchs improved to 23-4 (No. 2 C-USA).

Sophomore Kia Sivils led the way with 16 points going 6-for-7 from the field and 3-for-3 from beyond the arc while adding two steals.
