TOLEDO, Ohio – The Toledo women's basketball team was locked in a back-and-forth contest all afternoon with Gonzaga, but came up a possession short in a 72-69 decision, in front of a home opener crowd of 4,127 at Savage Arena on Sunday afternoon.
The Rockets (0-2) held even with the Bulldogs (2-0) at halftime, and surged ahead by as much as six in the third quarter. After Gonzaga took the lead, Toledo fought back in the fourth quarter and tied the game four different times, but a 5-0 Gonzaga run in the closing minutes was enough to hold off Toledo's six made three-pointers in the final period.
