TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) - Senior guard Nick Moore scored 17 points as Toledo (9-9, 3-5 MAC) defeated Western Michigan (12-5, 4-4 MAC) for the sixth straight time tonight with its 75-62 at Savage Hall.

Redshirt freshman guard Sammy Villegas added 15 points for the Rockets.

Mike Williams scored 20 points and Anthony Kann tallied 18 along with a game-high 12 rebounds for the Broncos, who were beaten by Toledo for the ninth time in their last 10 games.

Toledo was 25-for-50 from the floor for 50 percent and held Western Michigan to 22-for-69 for 31.9 percent, its lowest field goal percentage and the lowest by a Toledo opponent this season.

Toledo led 29-25 at the half and expanded that margin to 38-28 early in the second half following a 9-3 run. The Broncos never got closer than six points the rest of the way.
