TOLEDO, OH – Toledo completed a season sweep of Ball State with its 3-2 (25-22, 12-25, 25-18, 21-25, 15-10) home-court victory on Thursday night. UT last defeated the Cardinals, 3-1, in Muncie, IN on Sept. 29. The Rockets improve to 15-10 overall and 8-5 in the Mid-American Conference, which moves UT into second place in the West Division. BSU drops to 11-16 on the season and 7-6 in the league.

Toledo showed off a balanced attack effort tonight with the help of junior OH Saige Thomas (16 K), junior MB Rachel Vidourek (11 K), junior MB Annie Beasley (11 K), sophomore OH Gracey Tuifua (11 K) and senior RSH Mary O'Connor (9 K). Beasley topped the team with a .526 ATK % (11-1-19) and four blocks. Sophomore S Carly Townsend matched Beasley's four rejections and paced the Rockets with 47 assists.
