1/23/2018 1:29:00 PM | Women's Basketball
TOLEDO, OH - Toledo (13-6, 4-3 MAC) will play one of only two home games over the course of the next three weeks on Wednesday, Jan. 24 when it hosts reigning Mid-American Conference East Division champion Kent State (9-10, 2-5 MAC). Tip-off time is slated for 7:00 p.m. in Savage Arena and will be televised on ESPN3.
UT has tallied a 2-2 ledger against MAC East Division opponents so far this season and sports a 57-20 (.740) mark versus cross-division foes over the last nine-plus seasons under head coach Tricia Cullop.
The Midnight Blue & Gold currently sits tied for third place in the competitive MAC West Division standings, three games behind frontrunner Central Michigan (15-3, 7-0 MAC). Five of the six teams in the division have a 4-3 record or better in the league standings.
The Rockets are also a perfect 9-0 at the friendly confines of Savage Arena this year and in the midst of a 15-game home winning streak, the sixth-longest home unbeaten stretch in school history.
Toledo enters tomorrow's match-up on the heels of Saturday's 87-69 setback at MAC East Division leader Buffalo (15-3, 6-1 MAC).
Junior Kaayla McIntyre paced the 2017 MAC Champions with 19 points against the Bulls, followed by junior Mikaela Boyd and sophomore Sara Rokkanen with 13 each. UT also received a season-high eight points from redshirt freshman Tanaya Beacham.
The Rockets shot 45.6 percent (26-of-57) from the field and 70.6 percent (12-of-17) from the charity stripe, but those respectable numbers were overshadowed by 25 turnovers. UB Â took full advantage of miscues, converting them into 22 points to end Toledo's three-game winning streak. Â Â
Cierra Dillard led Buffalo with a career-high 30 points and seven steals. Katherine Ups added 14 points, while Stephanie Reid dished out a game-high 10 assists to stop UB's four-game losing skid against Toledo.
Toledo continues to be fueled offensively by the trio of McIntyre, senior Jay-Ann Bravo-Harriott and Boyd, who are averaging 15.2, 11.5 and 11.1 ppg, respectively. In MAC games, the aforementioned group is contributing a whopping 65.0 percent (297 of 457) of UT's scoring and 58.2 percent (160 of 275) of its rebounding.
The Rockets will take on a Kent State team which has lost three in a row and five of its last six overall, including a 79-58 setback against Ball State on Saturday at home. Jordan Korinek paced three Golden Flashes in double figures with 18 points and six caroms.Â
KSU, which is 7-7 away from home this season, features four players scoring at least 10.0 ppg and is led by Korinek's 19.5 ppg. In MAC games, she is averaging an impressive 20.9 ppg.
UT and KSU will meet for the only time during the regular season and 72nd time overall. Toledo leads the all-time series, 42-29, and has won nine of the last 10 match-ups against its cross-division foe. The Rockets are also in the midst of a five-game home winning streak against the Golden Flashes and hold a 20-9 advantage in games played in Lucas County. Â Â
A year ago, Toledo dropped a 70-60 decision against Kent State in the M.A.C. Center during the regular season (Jan. 21). The cross-division rivals then met for a second time in the quarterfinals of the MAC Tournament in Cleveland, with the Rockets securing a 67-63 neutral-court triumph (March 8). Â Â
Following tomorrow's contest, Toledo will travel to arch-rival Bowling Green (10-8, 2-5 MAC) on Saturday, Jan. 27. Game time versus the Falcons is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. in the Stroh Center and will be streamed live on ESPN3.
UT and BGSU will meet for the only time during the regular season and 77th time overall. Bowling Green leads the all-time series, 42-34, but Toledo has won four in a row and seven of the last eight match-ups against its cross-division foe. The Rockets are also in the midst of a four-game road winning streak versus the Falcons, but BGSU maintains a 20-12 advantage in games played in Wood County. Â Â
A season ago, Toledo secured a 74-59 triumph against Bowling Green in Savage Arena during the regular season (Feb. 11).
