The Toledo women’s basketball team defeated the Miami RedHawks 64-59 at Savage Arena on Wednesday, Jan. 29.


Graduate student Sammi Mikonowicz scored 17 points, going 5-of-8 from the field, 2-of-4 from beyond the arc, and 5-of-6 from the free throw line. She totaled six rebounds for the night, giving her 1,004 for her career to become the second player in program history to reach the 1,000-rebound milestone. Mikonowicz joins Angela Drake (1993-97) who grabbed 1,087 rebounds during her career as a Rocket.


Entering the locker room, the Rockets (14-5, 6-3 MAC) had a 36-25 advantage over the RedHawks (11-8, 4-5 MAC). In the fourth quarter, Miami fought back to take the lead in what became a back-and-forth battle. The final 3:54, Toledo scored seven of the last nine points in the game.


Sophomore Kendall Carruthers and freshman Destiny Robinson joined Mikonowicz in scoring the double digits. Carruthers also had 17 points for the night, including eight in the final quarter. Carruthers went 8-for-8 from the free throw line, 4-of-9 from the field, and 1-of-2 from beyond the arc. Robinson added 11 points, going 3-for-4 beyond the arch, 6-for-11 from inside the paint, and 2-for-2 on free throws. Graduate student Nan Garcia led the Rockets with five assists for the night.


Graduate students Jessica Cook and Khera Goss joined Mikonowiz as team leaders, each grabbing six rebounds. Defensively, Carruthers led the Rockets with two steals and freshman Faith Feed-Robinson blocked two of the RedHawks shots.


The Rockets hit the road for a three game trip on the road. The Rockets will return to Savage Arena to play Akron on Saturday, Feb. 15 at 2 p.m..
