Fresh off a victory over rival Bowling Green in the MAC championship, Toledo learned its national tournament fate on Selection Sunday, earning a 12-seed in the Seattle 3 region and drawing five-seed Iowa State in the first round of the 2023 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament.
Toledo enters the tournament as one of the hottest teams in the country, with its sixteen-consecutive victories tying it for the sixth-longest streak in women’s basketball. The Rockets’ impressive run down the stretch of league play punctuated one of the program’s most successful campaigns in its history.
The 2022-23 season saw the Blue and Gold earn a 28-4 overall record (second-most wins in program history), capture the MAC regular season and tournament titles, and notch a signature road victory against #14 Michigan.
