NEW ORLEANS -- The Old Dominion women's basketball team seeks its second tournament title of the season this weekend, as the Monarchs compete in the Tulane Classic Dec. 21-22 at Devlin Fieldhouse in New Orleans.
Old Dominion opens up against host Tulane on Friday at 4 p.m. ET. ODU will then play either Saint Mary's or Texas State on Saturday. Both games will be streamed on Tulane All-Access and also aired locally on 1310 AM radio featuring commentary from Doug Ripley and Susan Montgomery.
Back in late November, ODU won the Buccaneer Classic in Charleston. In that tournament, the Monarchs defeated Jacksonville and Tennessee Tech en route to the championship.
The Monarchs are scoring 72.6 points per game, while committing just 13.0 turnovers per game, which ranks 16th in the nation. ODU is 4-1 on the road this season with the lone loss coming at No. 13 NC State.
Individually, true Ajah Wayne leads the team in both scoring and rebounding with 13.4 points and 9.9 boards per game. Veteran guards Victoria Morris and Taylor Edwards are also averaging double figures for the Monarchs. Morris is averaging 13.1 points and Edwards is averaging 12.6 points and a team-leading 5.1 assists.
This is the second time the Monarchs have participated in the Tulane Classic, which is in its 23rd year. Back in 2010, ODU went 1-1 in what was head coach Wendy Larry's last season at Old Dominion.
ABOUT TULANE (7-2)
