Ah, ****.
Toledo couldn’t miss on Thursday night at the McGuire Center. Not in the first quarter, not in the second quarter, not in the third quarter, and not in the fourth quarter either. Shot after shot after shot fell for the visitors, and as such, they took the 92-82 win over Marquette women’s basketball in the third round of the 2022 WNIT. The Rockets advance to the quarterfinals, while the season ends for the Golden Eagles.
Marquette was in trouble from the get go. Three times in the first six minutes of the game, Toledo ran an action in transition where Sophia Wiard penetrated into the lane about to the free throw line, causing the MU defense to retreat to the rim to defend it.
