Anulare scored two second-half goals against Cincinnati on Sunday. The two-goal effort was Toledo's first brace since Madison Medalle on Sept. 3, 2023.
Morgan Spitler and Amya Usher have also played in both games as reserves. Spitler has totaled 70 minutes and two shots, while Usher has totaled 56 minutes and one shot.
All three transfers – defender Tori Lyncha, goalkeeper Agnes Stenlund and defender Dalaney Ranallo started both games for the Rockets. Lyncha and Stenlund logged all 180 minutes for the Rockets, while Ranallo added 174.

Creating Chances

Toledo out-shot IU Indy 12-2 in the second half and 15-5 for the game in the season-opener, leading to a 79th-minute equalizer by junior Kaema Amachree.
The Rockets also put eight shots on goal in Sunday's game, more than all but three contests in 2023.
Toledo has led in corners in each of the first two games – 6-3 against the Jaguars and 5-3 against the Bearcats. Both goals against Cincinnati came off corners.

Of Note

A victory would give Toledo its fourth win all-time against the Big Ten and its second road victory over the conference.
The Rockets secured 1-0 victories over Ohio State in 1996 and 2014, both in Toledo. UT also defeated Purdue 1-0 in West Lafayette in 2010.
Sunday is the first of two road contests in the Chicagoland area in 2024. Toledo will also face Loyola Chicago on Sept. 5.
Senior Chloe Tadolini is coming off her first multi-assist game of her career with two assists against UC.
