TOLEDO, OH - The 2017 MAC Tournament Champion Toledo women's basketball team were guests of City of Toledo Mayor Paula Hicks-Hudson and the Toledo City Council on Tuesday, March 21 at One Government Center.
Head Coach Tricia Cullop and the Rockets were honored with a resolution by Mayor Hicks-Hudson at 4:00 p.m. in Council Chambers. A handful of council members also made remarks about UT's championship run, and the entire Toledo City Council took photos with the group.
Prior to the council meeting, UT spent time with Mayor Hicks-Hudson and had the opportunity to take a tour of her 22nd floor office.
Earlier in the day, the Governor's Northwest Ohio Regional Liaison, Lu Cooke, presented the Rockets with a proclamation from Governor John R. Kasich marking their first MAC Tournament title since 2001 and eighth in program history.Â
