George Mason struggled to find the net all game long, shooting .194 from the field and .083 from three point range. Tish Wescott led the Patriots with a 11 point, 15 rebound performance. Guard Jen Surlas finished with seven points and five rebounds, and reserve Vanessa Neamo tallied eight points and six boards. Old Dominion was led by Okeisha Howard's 14 points.
