The Toledo Rockets had strong first and fourth quarters on offense and held it down defensively in-between to take down their I-75 rival Bowling Green Falcons en route to their first MAC Tournament Championship since 2017, taking victory by a final score of 73-58 on Saturday afternoon. It was the Toledo’s 16th straight victory— and mission complete in getting revenge for their January loss to BG.
Tricia Cullop’s squad set the tone immediately, going on a 12–0 run over the first four minutes of the game. Toledo took a 23–12 lead at the end of the quarter behind senior guard Quinesha Lockett, who had eight of her team-high 17 points during the period.
