Toledo women drop regular season finale to Northern Illinois, 86-79

With a win on Saturday against Northern Illinois, the University of Toledo women's basketball team would have hosted a first-round Mid-American Conference tournament game on Monday.

The Huskies, however, weren't going to let that happen as Courtney Woods had 36 points to lead NIU to an 86-79 win at Savage Arena.
