The Toledo women’s basketball team will host Middle Tennessee in the quarterfinals of the WNIT on Monday at Savage Arena. The game tips off at 7 p.m. on ESPN3.

Toledo (29-5) advanced to the WNIT Quarterfinals by virtue of its impressive 92-82 road win over Marquette (23-11) on Thursday night. The Rockets trailed 74-70 entering the fourth quarter before junior guard Quinesha Lockett took the game into her own hands; she scored 21 of Toledo’s 22 points in the final period to lead her team to victory. Lockett tallied a career-high 37 points on Thursday.

Toledo’s 29 wins ties a school record for most victories in a season, matching win totals from the 2010-11 and 2012-13 squads. The 92 points UT scored on Thursday are a program record for most in a WNIT game and the most the team has scored against a Division I opponent since scoring 92 at Cleveland State on Nov. 19, 2016. The Rockets are playing in the quarterfinals of the WNIT for the first time since the 2011-12 season and the third time overall. Toledo won the 2011 WNIT championship title.

Middle Tennessee (26-7) has beaten Wofford, Wake Forest, and Vanderbilt on its way to the quarterfinals. The Blue Raiders trailed by 11 near the end of the first quarter against Vanderbilt, but came back to claim a 55-53 victory to advance into the quarterfinals.

The winner of Monday’s game will advance to the semifinals and face the winner of the Columbia/Seton Hall game. That game is scheduled to tip off at 8 p.m. on Monday.
