NORFOLK, Va. -- Myriah Spence scored 15 points and Hamchetou Maiga had 13, leading Old Dominion (No. 16 ESPN/USA Today; No. 15 Associated Press) to a 76-48 victory Saturday over North Carolina-Wilmington in the Colonial Athletic Association tournament championship game.

The victory was the 33rd in as many tries in the tournament for Old Dominion (25-5), and the championship was its 11th in as many years since joining the CAA. The victory put Old Dominion in the NCAA Tournament.

North Carolina-Wilmington (16-13) was led by Shameka Montgomery with 11 points. The Seahawks shot just 31 percent to 60 percent for the Lady Monarchs.
