YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University women's basketball team saw its Senior Day spoiled in heartbreaking fashion at the hands of the University of Toledo Wednesday night, March 6, inside the Convocation Center. After what would have been game-winnings shots were waved off at the end of regulation and an initial extra period, Toledo outlasted Eastern, 70-67, in double overtime.

A pair of free throws by freshman Kiara Johsnon (Buffalo, N.Y.-Cardinal O'Hara) put EMU (12-16, 5-12 MAC) ahead by two, 65-63, with 2:38 to go in the second OT, but Toledo (19-9, 11-6 MAC) responded with a freebie and then an offensive putback to reclaim the lead, 66-65.
