The Toledo women's basketball team's seven-game win streak came to an end after a 81-72 loss to Bowling Green in the Battle of I-75 at the Stroh Center on Feb. 22.
The Falcons (15-11, 8-6 MAC) pulled ahead in the first quarter 25-14, with the Rockets (19-6, 10-4 MAC) never quite able to get the lead.
Toledo entered the fourth quarter down 62-52. They were within one possession twice in the final ten minutes, but they ultimately could not catch up to the Falcons.
Graduate student Nan Garcia led the Rockets with 18 points, her season-high, and seven rebounds, five of which were offensive.
Sophomore Kendall Carruthers and freshman Faith Fedd-Robinson joined Garcia in the double-digit points, with Carruthers at 16 points and Fedd-Robinson at 14 points. Both had three rebounds.
The Rockets' bench got 42 points, the most this season during conference play.
Bowling Green's Amy Velasco had a game-high 30 points, going 9-of-15 field goals, 3-of-4 behind the arc, and 9-of-9 free throws.
With Northern Illinois' loss against Eastern Michigan, Toledo has secured a spot in the 2025 MAC Tournament, which will take place at Rocket Arena in Cleveland, Ohio from March 12 to 15.
