NORFOLK, Va. -- On a snowy evening in Hampton Roads, the Old Dominion women's basketball team lost its Conference USA opener to UAB, 74-61, on Thursday at the Ted Constant Center.
"I thought our kids really showed some resolve and some fight," said head coach Nikki McCray-Penson. "We're a resilient bunch, but when we dig ourselves in a hole, fatigue plays a factor."
Facing a 21-point deficit late in the third quarter, Old Dominion (2-12, 0-2 C-USA) mounted a 12-0 run spanning the third and fourth quarters to cut the UAB (12-2, 2-0 C-USA) lead to single digits at 57-48.
