LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Â Toledo (1-0) will look to continue the momentum from its season-opening victory against Saint Francis (Pa.) when it travels to Atlantic Coast Conference member No. 9 Louisville (2-0) on Tuesday, Nov. 14 in the second round of the Preseason WNIT. Tipoff is slated for 7:00 p.m. in the KFC Yum! Center and will be televised on ACC Network Extra.
The winner of the Rockets-Cardinals contest will face Big Ten Conference member Michigan in the semifinals of the 24th-annual tourney at a site to be determined on Thursday, Nov. 16.
UT is guaranteed at least three games under the Preseason WNIT format. The event involves 16 teams from 16 different conferences that were included by invitation only.
Toledo is coming off a hard-fought 74-66 home triumph over the Red Flash on Friday in the first round of the Preseason WNIT. The Rockets shot 48.3 percent (29-of-60) from the field and held a commanding 52-14 edge in points in the paint. Toledo also limited SFU to 33.3 percent (19-of-57) from the floor and forced 30 turnovers, which they translated into 22 points. Â
Offensively, junior Kaayla McIntyre paced the 2017 Mid-American Conference Champions with 17 points and a career-high 12 boards to post her first-collegiate double-double, followed by senior Jay-Ann Bravo-Harriott and junior Mikaela Boyd with 14 and 11 points, respectively. Junior Olivia Cunningham added eight points off the bench, while senior Jada Woody and redshirt freshman Tanaya Beacham had six points each. Â
The nationally ranked Cardinals have won their first two games this year, most recently claiming a 95-90 overtime victory at Ohio St. on Sunday. Asia Durr drained nine triples and scored a career-high 47 points against the Buckeyes, followed by Myisha Hines-Allen with 14 points and a game-high 15 caroms.
Toledo and Louisville will meet for the first time on the hardwood.Â
UT is 11-14 (.440) all-time against teams from the ACC (1-1 vs. Boston College; 1-2 vs. Duke; 0-1 vs. Florida St.; 1-3 vs. Miami (Fla.); 3-5 vs. Notre Dame; 3-0 vs. Pittsburgh; 1-1 vs. Syracuse; 1-1 vs. Virginia), including 3-3 (.500) under head coach Tricia Cullop. The last ACC school the Rockets played was perennial national power Notre Dame, against whom they dropped an 85-68 decision at home on Dec. 18, 2016.
Louisville returns two starters and nine letterwinners from last season's 29-8 NCAA Championships 'Sweet 16' squad, guided by 11th-year head coach Jeff Walz. The Cardinals have been tabbed to finish second in the ACC, trailing only the Fighting Irish.Â
