Toledo out-scores Falcons, 20-9 in the fourth quarter in Battle of I-75 triumph
TOLEDO, Ohio – The Toledo women's basketball dominated in the first and fourth quarters against Bowling Green, using the impressive start and finish for a 59-49 victory in the Battle of I-75, presented by Fremont Federal Credit Union at Savage Arena on Saturday.
Â
The Rockets (11-8, 6-3 MAC) got out to a 23-5 lead in under nine minutes and led after the first quarter, 23-9. The Falcons (11-10, 4-6 MAC) controlled the middle quarters, out-scoring Toledo, 31-16 in the second and third quarters for a 40-39 margin after three. However, Toledo rallied for a 20-9 fourth quarter to capture its third-straight victory.
Â
Toledo put up a season-high +28 rebound margin, out-rebounding the Falcons, 54-26. The Rockets' defense also stifled Bowling Green from the field, holding BGSU to just 27.3%, including under 20% in both the first and fourth quarters.
Â
Quoting Head Coach Ginny Boggess
"What a fun environment. What a great game. I have so much respect for Bowling Green – their tradition, their staff, their preparation – great program and great team. We knew this was going to be a dogfight and it certainly was. Every timeout, even when we had the early lead, I made sure our team know that BG was coming. We love the rivalry and we were happy to come out on top tonight. We're just really continuing to work to get better possession-by-possession."
