TOLEDO, Ohio – Junior Nakiah Black buried back-to-back three-point field goals in overtime to lift Toledo to a 53-48 victory against Belmont on Tuesday before a rambunctious crowd of 4,736 Education Day fans in Savage Arena. With the extra-period win, the Rockets improve to 2-4 on the season.
With her team down two points in overtime, Black drained a pair of triples to give the Midnight Blue & Gold a 50-48 advantage with 17.3 seconds showing on the clock.
The Ohio Valley Conference member Bruins (3-5) had a chance to extend play in the waning seconds, but Maddie Wright's layup in the paint was off the mark.
