HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Marshall Women's Basketball rallied to knock off Old Dominion, 77-70, on Wednesday at the Cam Henderson Center. The Herd improved to 14-3 overall and 5-0 in Sun Belt Conference play, powered by a career-high 33 point effort from Timaya Lewis-Eutsey
Timaya Lewis-Eutsey eclipsed the 30 point mark for the second time this season on 11-of-20 shooting and adding 11 free throws. She fueled the comeback with nine fourth-quarter points, including the game-tying layup and a clutch jumper with 20 seconds remaining to push the lead to two possessions.
