December 6thmarked the third consecutive game against a Top 25opponent for the Lady Monarch this season as OldDominion hosted Penn State. The last time OldDominion faced three consecutive Top 25 opponentsduring the regular season was back in early 1987.

BIG EAST, BIG FOES: The BIG EAST Conferenceappears more times on this year’s Lady Monarch non-conference schedule that any other conference. OldDominion will have faced Virginia Tech, Seton Hall,Connecticut, and Rutgers by the year’s end. Last year,the BIG EAST conference sent five teams to the NCAATournament: Villanova, Virginia Tech, Rutgers, finalfour participant Connecticut, and national championNotre Dame.

OldDominion then went on to capture a 91-69 victory overDenver in their last outing to up their winning streak tothree straight. The last Old Dominion winning streakoccurred at the end of the 2000-01 season as they LadyMonarchs won six in a row, including the championshipgame of the Colonial Athletic Association for the 10th

consecutive year.

A POINT GUARD AT HEART: Senior TiffanyThompson may be listed as a forward/center, butopponents better watch out for her deadly range.Thompson scored nine of her 11 points against thePirates on Dec. 14th from downtown. On the season,Thompson has shot 54 percent from behind the arc,making her the best three-point shooter on the team.

The last overtime match-up occurred last year with atight 85-84 double overtime loss to BIG EAST memberSyracuse. Just three overtime games have occurred atthe Fieldhouse -- this year's Penn State game, last year'sloss to Syracuse, and a 69-65 win over Purdue in thesecond round of the NCAA Tournament in 1997. Infact, three of the nine overtime games that LadyMonarchs have played in have been in NCAATournament action.

THE REBOUNDS IMPROVE: At one point duringthe season, head coach Wendy Larry left a note in thelocker room telling her team that it was the worstrebounding team she has ever coached.

2001-02 LADY MONARCH GAME DAY NOTES

RETIREMENT: Redshirt freshman Shareese Granthad her jersey retired at nearby Princess Anne HighSchool in Virginia Beach last Friday. Wearing #24,Grant was a Three-time All-Tidewater Player of theYear, all-district, all-region, and all-state team selectionaveraging 26.6 points and 8.5 rebounds per game.Grant became just the second women’s basketballplayer to have her jersey retired at Princess Anne.Fellow teammate, Okeisha Howard was the first.

LADY MONARCHS TAKE TO THE SKY: TheLady Monarchs’ outing to Denver was their lone trip onan airplane during the regular season. Old Dominionwill be using a bus for their remaining away games.

FROM THE LINE: Old Dominion’s woes from thefree throw line continue to get better. The LadyMonarchs entered the month of December shooting just55 percent from the line. Against the Tar Heels on Dec.2, Old Dominion shot a season-high 80 percent from thecharity stripe, which included perfect performances byOkeisha Howard (5-of-5), Sharron Francis (2-of-2), andKim Giddens (2-of-2). Lucienne Berthieu, who up untilthat point was shooting just 52 percent from the line,connected on 8-of-11. Entering Dec. 14th’s gameagainst Seton Hall, senior Hamchetou Magia wasaveraging just 33.3 percent from the charity stripe. Inperhaps her best performance from the line this season,“Tanty” sank seven of her 11 attempts, accounting forhalf of her points scored that evening. Okeisha Howardalso continued as the team’s best free three shoots,sinking all six of her attempts versus the Pirates.Against Denver, the free throws continued to sink as theteam hit 77 percent from the line. Berthieu andsophomore Monique Coker, whom both struggled at thebeginning of the year from the charity stripe, hit 5-of-6and 6-of-6 respectively. As a team, the Lady Monarchsare hitting 65 percent from the line, up ten percent fromthe beginning of the month.

THOMPSON ON THE RESET: Despite Dec. 2nd’sloss to the Tar Heels, Tiffany Thompson either tied orreset nearly all her season-highs. The senior logged herfirst double-double performance of the year with 11points and 10 rebounds, just the second Lady Monarchto accomplish this feat yet this season. The only statmarks Thompson did not touch were 3-point field goalsattempted and steals.

2-3 WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE: Althoughthe Lady Monarchs began the year 2-3, you can’t countthis team out.
