YPSILANTI, Mich. — The Toledo women’s basketball team put together a suffocating defensive performance in a 48-35 Mid-American Conference win over Eastern Michigan at the George Gervin GameAbove Center Saturday afternoon.
The 35 points surrendered were the Rockets (9-3, 2-0 MAC) fewest allowed to a conference opponent since a 2012 victory over Ohio.
"Our offense struggled at times today with too many turnovers [18], but I'm proud of the way we played defensively," head coach Tricia Cullop said. "I thought our defense did a good job of stifling them and collecting rebounds. I thought we did a better job of taking care of the basketball in the second half as well.
