Patricia Anumgba registers 22 points and seven steals; reaches 1,000 career points
AMHERST, Mass. – The Toledo women's basketball played stout defense all night, and benefited from some timely shooting as well as a big night from Patricia Anumgba to pull out a 60-52 victory over UMass at the Mullins Center on Wednesday night.
The Rockets (14-10, 8-5 MAC) held the lead at the half, 26-19, despite losing guard Faith Fedd-Robinson in the second quarter, and remained ahead for the entire third quarter. After the Minutewomen (18-6, 10-3 MAC) rallied in the fourth for a 44-43 lead, the Rockets surged to finish off the game, taking an 11-point lead in the final minute, which was enough for the eight-point victory. Toledo held UMass to a season-low 52 points and gave the Minutewomen their first loss on their home floor this season.
The Rockets shot 42.2% while holding UMass to 28.6% from the field. The Rockets made seven three-pointers to four for UMass, and out-scored the Minutewomen at the free throw line, 15-12.
Quoting Head Coach Ginny Boggess
"I thought everybody stepped up big-time on the road. I challenged our team against a very good opponent in UMass. Our players filled the gaps after we lost Faith early on. It was a toughness battle down the stretch and I thought we executed really well."
(On Patricia Anumgba)
"She's a pro. She works hard every day and shows up with the right attitude and tremendous energy. She's obviously a very talented scorer, but what she did defensively was the most special contribution tonight. I love coaching her, and her teammates know she's a 'dawg.' She was the difference tonight."
