YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University women's basketball team won for the fourth time in five games, defeating the University of Toledo, 70-57, Saturday, Jan 6, inside the Convocation Center
The Eagles' (6-8, 2-1 MAC) convincing 13-point win over the Rockets (9-5, 1-2 MAC) is the Green and White's first Mid-American Conference victory inside the Convocation Center since Jan. 25, 2017, snapping a six-game skid, and its first win over the Rockets since Feb. 24, 2016. The result also gives EMU consecutive MAC wins for the first time since March 7-9, 2016.
Senior Sasha Dailey (Toledo, Ohio-Rogers) led the Green and White with a season-high 20 points, and became the 22nd Eagle in program history to score 1,000 career points. Redshirt junior Danielle Minott (Miami, Fla.-Miami Country Day (Syracuse)) tallied 15 points and a team-high four steals, while freshman Courtnie Lewis (Belton, Mo.-Belton) added 12 points, three rebounds, and one theft. Redshirt junior Emoni Jackson (Los Angeles, Calif.-Long Beach Polytechnic (Michigan)) contributed eight points and pulled down a team-leading six boards, while redshirt freshman Corrione Cardwell (Cleveland, Ohio-New Tech East) and freshman Autumn Hudson (Richwood, Ohio-North Union) added five boards apiece.
EMU's offense was consistent throughout the contest, shooting 46.3 percent on 25-of-54 field goal attempts, including 6-of-14 from beyond the arc, while Toledo converted 38.2 percent (21-of-55) of its shots. The Eagles also finished 14-of-17 from the charity stripe, while the Rockets went 11-of-19 from the line.
Defensively, the Green and White captured 10 steals, forcing Toledo to commit 17 turnovers. A balanced roster saw 10 Eagles record at least one rebound and five tally at least one takeaway.
Trailing 4-2, the Green and White fought back with a 9-2 run lasting over three minutes to grab an 11-6 advantage with 2:36 remaining in the opening period. The Eagles capitalized on the Rockets' poor ball control, scoring seven points off seven Toledo turnovers en route to a 15-10 lead after one quarter of play.
Shortly after a Lewis three-pointer gave EMU a 20-18 lead, Dailey drove to the basket and drew a shooting foul with 6:19 to go in the second quarter. The Toledo, Ohio, native then sank her next free throw attempt to reach the 1,000-point plateau. The free throws were part of a 7-0 EMU run that put the Eagles ahead, 24-18, near the halfway point of the second frame.
After Toledo scored five unanswered points to trim the Eagles' lead to one, the Green and White replied with a 12-0 run to take a commanding 36-23 lead with 15 seconds to play in the opening half.
The Eagles, fresh off a thrilling come-from-behind road win against Bowling Green State University, Jan. 3, were not about to surrender their double-digit halftime lead. Dailey knocked down a three-pointer from the top of the key before connecting on a mid-range jumper to give EMU a 52-38 lead with 50 seconds to go in the third period. The Eagles outscored Toledo in the third period, 16-15, and led the Rockets after three quarters, 52-40.
EMU added to its lead in the final frame, as Minott's corner three gave the Green and White a 57-40 advantage with 8:11 left in regulation. The game's pace slowed down considerably as both teams reached the bonus, but the Eagles double-digit lead remained intact as EMU knocked off Toledo, 70-57.
Eastern Michigan begins a two-game road trip Wednesday, Jan 10, when the Green and White travel to Kent, Ohio for a rematch with the Golden Flashes of Kent State. Tipoff from the M.A.C. Center is scheduled for 7 p.m.
