Charlotte 102 Old Dominion 95 Final - 2OT
A combination of short benches and a bunch of whistles led to an interesting finish. The teams were tied at 75 going into overtime. Charlotte played only 6 players while ODU had 7. With 7:58 to go in the 4th and ODU up by 7, Maggie Robinson committed her 5th foul for the Monarchs reducing their team to 6. As the game wound down Victoria Morris picked up 2 quick fouls at 3:55 and 3:31 of the 4th to give her 4. Then with 25 seconds to go she picked up her 5th to leave ODU with only 5 players. At the start of the OT Ash'a Thompson hit a 3pt jumper to give ODU the lead, but only 8 seconds later she committed her 5th foul with 4:02 to go. ODU was able to push the lead up to 4 with 3:52 to go and led by 3 with only 14 seconds to go. But while ODU kept scoring Octavia Jett-Wilson took over for Charlotte. Over the last 3:16 of the first overtime she poured in 14 points including a 3 point play with only 8 seconds to go to force another OT. In the second OT Charlotte took control winning by 7 against the (literally) undermanned ODU team.
Octavia Jett-Wilson ended with 42 points (18 in OT), 14 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals to lead the 49ers. Amari Young led ODU with 24 points and 24 rebounds in the losing effort.
