By Harry Minium

What has at times been a difficult and frustrating season for the Old Dominion women's basketball team has, for now at least, turned out to have a pretty sweet finish.

The ODU women erased a 5-point lead in the final 22.9 seconds of regulation and dominated in overtime to defeat Western Kentucky, 83-77, Tuesday in the preliminary round of the Conference USA tournament at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas.

After losing nine of its first 15 games, ODU (11-10) has won five of its last six.
