Coronavirus fears keep UT's Santucci from having senior day with family

It was an emotional senior day for University of Toledo point guard Mariella Santucci.

Not only was it her final game in front of the Savage Arena fans, but she went through the game and senior day festivities without her family from Italy present because of fears from coronavirus.

“It was really tough for me to be here without my family,” Santucci said. “I really think I have amazing teammates that walked out with me and decided no matter who didn't want my family here or what type of virus it was, they were still next to me.
