TOLEDO, OH - Junior guard Nick Moore and sophomore guard Terry Reynolds were the only Rockets in double figures tonight as Toledo (8-11, 5-5 MAC) held Central Michigan (7-12, 4-7 MAC) to 32 percent shooting en route to a 58-42 victory over the Chippewas tonight. Moore led the way with 15 points, while Reynolds added 13 for the Rockets who moved back into second place in the MAC's West Division ahead of Northern Illinois (9-11, 5-6 MAC).
