Thu, 04 Dec 2008 15:12:43 -0500 NORFOLK The question going into Old Dominion's game Sunday against Norfolk State was never who would win. It's no surprise the 23rd-ranked Lady Monarchs dominated the Spartans 97-54 at the Constant Center. NSU, picked to finish 11th in the 11-team MEAC, won all of five games last year and lost by 60 two weeks ago to William and Mary. http://hamptonroads.com/2008/11/win-over-nsu-shows-lady-monarchs-struggling-reserves Sun, 30 Nov 2008 16:21:30 -0500 Staff report On the night before Thanksgiving, the Old Dominion Lady Monarchs got gobbled up at Michigan State, falling 74-48 at the Breslin Center in East Lansing, Mich. The No. 23 Lady Monarchs led for most of the first half before hitting the same sort of scoring drought that killed them last week against Texas. http://hamptonroads.com/2008/11/odus-lady-monarchs-routed-michigan-road Wed, 26 Nov 2008 23:02:58 -0500 Canadian point guard Carolann Cloutier has signed with Old Dominion.

The pint-sized senior guard unleashed a career-high 24 points to spark the 25th-ranked Lady Monarchs to a 78-70 upset of the No. 16 Cavaliers before a roaring crowd of 5,016 at the Constant Center Friday. http://hamptonroads.com/2008/11/lady-monarchs-give-cavs-blues-all-jazz Fri, 21 Nov 2008 21:27:17 -0500 NORFOLK The coaches are in her ear every day, urging Shadasia Green to get in better shape.

ODU coach Wendy Larry doesn't share that perspective. http://hamptonroads.com/2008/11/odus-larry-not-taking-unranked-teams-lightly Fri, 14 Nov 2008 23:45:37 -0500
