Final Stats
NORFOLK, Va. – Ajah Wayne and Amari Young both registered double-doubles as Old Dominion's women's basketball team held off a valiant Marshall comeback 57-46 Saturday afternoon at Chartway Arena.
Wayne had 19 points and 11 rebounds, while Young posted 12 points and 14 boards to lead the Monarchs. The latter also four steals. Young and Adams had three assists apiece as well.
The Thundering Herd's Savannah Wheeler tied a season-high with 19 points, making all nine of her free throws. Taylor Pearson also chipped in 10 points and eight rebounds, while Khadaijia Brooks notched eight points, five rebounds and four steals. Both Pearson and Brooks fouled out as Marshall battled difficulty in that area throughout.
Wheeler and Kristen Mayo led the team with three assists apiece.
The Monarchs led for 37 minutes, 50 seconds, but the Thundering Herd clawed its way back from 15-point first-half deficit to take a 40-38 advantage on a Brooks layup 36 seconds into the fourth quarter. That basket capped off a 16-2 second half run for the visitors but Old Dominion scored 19 of the contest's final 25 points in the final period.
The home team held a 35-21 advantage on points in the paint and second chance points.
"We didn't guard very well in the fourth quarter," said Marshall head coach Tony Kemper. "(ODU) missed a lot of third-quarter shots too, but I'm proud of the way we came out of the locker room (for the second half). We were in a pretty tough spot, steadied and battled."
Marshall will be back home in the Cam Henderson Center on Saturday for a 1 p.m. tip against WKU.
