FAIRFAX, Va. -- The Old Dominion women's basketball team dropped its Preseason WNIT finale to St. Francis (PA), 79-68, on Saturday afternoon at George Mason's EagleBank Arena.
"I thought fatigue played a factor," said head coach Nikki McCray-Penson. "I thought the first quarter, again, really killed us. 26-8. You can't recover from a deficit like that."
St. Francis (1-2), behind 52 percent shooting in the opening quarter, led 26-8 at the end of one and never looked back, as the Red Flash led by double digits for the final three quarters.
A trio of Old Dominion (0-3) players notched career highs in scoring, including Victoria Morris who tallied a team-leading 16 points.
