Alexis Olgard topscored with 25 points, while Todorovic finished with 23 points, 23 receives and eight digs.
The 24-year-old Todorovic discounted possibilities to come back for another tour of duty as she tied up with a stint in the Puerto Rico pro league. She also plans to take up masters degree in management after that.
