TOLEDO – Toledo sophomore transfer guard and local Springfield HS alum Kendall Carruthers‘ 21 points and a robust second-half team effort lifted the Toledo Rockets over the BGSU Falcons for the 5th straight time in the Battle of I-75.
A back-and-forth first half led to a 10-point BGSU lead with 6:18 left in the 2nd quarter as BGSU senior guard from Cincinnati Lexi Fleming had it all working. But her high-game score of 23 points wasn’t enough to close the 12-point gap at the end of the game: The Rockets took the Battle of I-75 with a 80-68 victory.
