TOLEDO, Ohio – Toledo secured its 11th-consecutive home triumph with a 65-56 victory over Horizon League foe Cleveland State on Saturday before 3,631 fans in Savage Arena. With the win, the Rockets improve to 7-2 on the season.
UT blew open a close game by rattling off the first 13 points in the third quarter to assume a lead it would not relinquish.
Junior Kaayla McIntyre triggered the game-changing burst with six of her career-high 21 points to turn a 29-27 halftime deficit into a 40-29 third-period lead.
McIntyre, who also ripped down a contest-best eight caroms, converted an efficient 9-of-12 from the floor and 3-of-4 from the charity stripe to surpass the 20-point barrier for the second time as a Rocket.
