Coming off an impressive MAC tournament run, the University of Toledo women’s basketball team headed into their first NCAA tournament in 16 years and looked to advance to the second round. Unfortunately, the Rocket momentum from their conference tournament didn’t transfer to their game against the Creighton University Blue Jays, and the Rockets lost by a score of 49-76.
Second-year guard Mikaela Boyd led UT with 11 points in the game, followed closely behind by first-year guard Mariella Santucci and second-year center Kaayla McIntyre, both of whom had 10.
Scoring was a huge handicap for the Rockets in this matchup.
