BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – Toledo wrapped up its regular season with a 1-0 overtime loss at Bowling Green on Thursday, but will still enter the Mid-American Conference Tournament as the No. 6 seed.

Toledo (10-5-4, 5-4-2 MAC) and Bowling Green (9-6-3, 8-2-1 MAC) went scoreless through 90 minutes of physical play in regulation before the Falcons sealed the "Battle of I-75" victory in overtime. Five minutes into the extra time, Bowling Green forward Nikki Cox broke the deadlock with a shot from the top of the box, that was deflected past goalkeeper Emma Boutorwick for the only goal of the contest.

"It was a tough loss for our team today," head coach TJ Buchholz said. "I thought we performed exceptionally well against a strong Bowling Green team. It is unfortunate that we conceded a goal in overtime on a deflection, but I give credit to BG for making a play in overtime.

"Overall, we have a lot to be proud of this season. We are excited to be playing on Sunday in the first round of the conference tournament."

Toledo, the No. 6 seed in the MAC Tournament, will play at No. 3 Kent State (11-4-3, 7-1-3 MAC) on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. in first-round action. Bowling Green clinched the No. 1 seed in the tournament and will host the semifinal and final games on Thursday, Nov. 4 and Sunday, Nov. 7.
