Loryn Goodwin’s near triple-double helped University of Texas-San Antonio spoil Old Dominion’s Senior Day with an 81-68 victory over the Lady Monarchs Saturday at The Ted.
Jennie Simms led ODU (16-13, 11-7 C-USA) with 31 points and eight rebounds, while senior forward Annika Holopainen registered a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds.
The Roadrunners led 59-58 at the end of three-quarters and went on to score 11 of the first 13 points to open the final period to take a 70-60 lead with 5:56 remaining in regulation. They would not allow Old Dominion to get closer than eight points for the remainder of the game and their largest lead came when Goodwin converted one of two at the charity stripe with 37 seconds remaining.
