Patricia Anumgba scores season-high 21 points on 9-of-14 shooting
TOLEDO, Ohio – The Toledo women's basketball team was dominant from start to finish, overwhelming Buffalo 79-46 in its Mid-American Conference opener at Savage Arena on Wednesday.
The Rockets (6-5, 1-0 MAC) vaulted out to a 41-19 lead at halftime behind a 22-6 second quarter in which Buffalo did not score until the 2:05 mark. The Rockets cruised through the second half, swelling the lead to as much as 37 in the third quarter.
The Rockets dominated once again on the glass, with a season-high 52 rebounds and a season-best +16 rebound margin. Toledo shot above 45% for the third-straight game, shooting 45.9% from the field while holding the Bulls to just 30.0%. The Rockets also held a 44-26 advantage in the paint.
Quoting Head Coach Ginny Boggess
"Proud of our execution from start to finish. I thought we did a tremendous of staying connected and competing. I like who we're becoming as a team. I've always loved our roster, always loved our kids. But I love who we're becoming. We're going to have a big test coming up (against Miami), but we're going to enjoy this one and have a safe and happy New Year.
