Overview
As always, the Rockets' defense is formidable for coach Mark Ehlen. Toledo allowed just 59 points per game in conference play and dominated the boards to the tune of a plus-7 rebounding margin. Forwards Melantha Herron and Courtney Risinger help carry the load for the Rockets, who took off in the second half of the season.

Player to Watch
Kahli Carter, a 6-foot senior forward, led the league in rebounding and also found time to score 17 points per game.
