Kendall Carruthers and Evalyse Cole score in double-figures for the Rockets
OXFORD, Ohio – The Toledo women's basketball team was unable to rally from behind in the second half, falling on the road at Miami, 63-55 at Millett Hall on Saturday afternoon.
Â
After trailing early, the Rockets (6-6, 1-1 MAC) fought back in the second quarter, trimming its deficit to one at halftime. Toledo then halted a Miami run in the third quarter, closing to within two by the end of the quarter. However, an early fourth-quarter run was enough to close out the game for the RedHawks (10-4, 2-0 MAC).
Â
The Rockets were again strong on the boards, out-rebounding Miami, 35-21, including a season-high 15 offensive rebounds. However, the RedHawks won the turnover battle, 27-17 and out-shot Toledo, 47%-40%.
Â
Quoting Head Coach Ginny Boggess
"Really tough game on the road against an exceptional defensive squad. I thought we defended without fouling well, but it got away from us a few times and we have to take better care of the basketball.
