Senior Night did not go the way the Old Dominion women's basketball team wanted it to Thursday night as the Monarchs succumbed to UAB, 64-61, at Chartway Arena.
ODU (24-5 overall, 14-3 Conference USA), lost for only the second time in 15 games and saw its 16-game home winning streak snapped. The defeat might also impact the Monarchs' hopes of claiming an NCAA tournament at-large bid.
But the loss did nothing to dampen ODU's hopes of claiming a share of its first Conference USA regular-season title. ODU plays Rice Saturday at Houston and the winner claims a share of the regular-season championship.
