Quinesha Lockett and Sophia Wiard have defined the University of Toledo’s exemplary 68-14 record over the past three seasons.
Not far behind is Sammi Mikonowicz.
The fourth-year forward is one of the best rebounders in the Mid-American Conference. She’s an active defender. And her offensive contributions might be the extra element that makes the Rockets a formidable force.
The quality of UT’s record in 2023-24 is unchanged: 10-3 overall and 3-0 in the MAC. However, diminishing returns on offense from Mikonowicz have been startling. Her lack of rhythm has been an impediment. Sometimes it’s missed shots, other times it’s not taking shots.
