Danielle Migliore led the Bonnies with 11 points. SBU's two leading scorers, Mariah Ruff and Mckenna Maycock, were limited to 15 points on 6-of-20 shooting from the field, including 0-of-8 from beyond the arc.

UT remained red-hot shooting the ball early in the second stanza, registering eight of the first 10 points to extend its lead to 27-8 at the 6:40 mark. Bravo-Harriott once again triggered the impressive play with a pair of deep field goals to put her in double figures and make it a 19-point advantage.

UT knocked down 14 of its 28 shots from the field in the opening 20 minutes and 4-of-6 from the free throw line to build a 16-point advantage at the half.
 
Toledo continued to play well in the third period, taking advantage of four layups from McIntyre to push the score to 47-28 after 30 minutes of competition. The Toledo native dominated the interior and converted a quartet of field goals within five feet to keep the home crowd silent.
 
The Midnight Blue & Gold then put the finishing touches on the impressive road victory with a pair of deep triples from the wing by Rokkanen and Woody early in the fourth quarter.
