While it took a while to break through, the Miami University field hockey team kept a constant pressure throughout its Mid-American Conference game against Missouri State on Friday. That attack was rewarded with a goal in the 63rd minute, allowing the RedHawks to earn a 1-0 victory. It was Miami's third consecutive shutout. (RECAP) Trailing 2-0, the RedHawks used an impressive second half rally to earn a 4-3 overtime win over Indiana on Sunday.

Hockey
Last Week: In its first competition of the year, a new-look Miami squad dressed 24 players, including 13 freshmen in its exhibition against Waterloo on Saturday night. Fans got to see a promising performance as seven different players recorded multiple points. Kiefer Sherwood's power play goal staked MU off to a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes of play and then the team took off in the final 40 minutes. Karch Bachman's first of two goals started a four-goal onslaught in the second period as the Red and White cruised to an 8-1 victory over the Warriors. Josh Melnick led the way with four points on a goal and three assists while Anthony Louis and Sherwood each had a goal and two assists. Bachman and fellow freshman Alex Alger netted a pair of goals while Scott Dornbrock and Zach LaValle dished out two assists in the win (RECAP).

Soccer
Last Week: As has been their m.o. this season, the RedHawks (5-5-1, 2-1-1 MAC) played their fifth and sixth overtime matches of the season this weekend. On Friday night, Miami battled the elements to hold the MAC's highest scoring team, Central Michigan, scoreless through 100 minutes, but Alexis Pelafas scored in the 106th minute to down Miami 1-0 for its first MAC loss (RECAP). Sunday saw Miami take a 1-0 lead into halftime on the strength of Ashley Weathers' first goal of the season. Eastern Michigan started an emphatic surge in the second half, outshooting MU by a 12-4 margin and scoring in the 54th and 74th minute to grab a 2-1 lead late in regulation. Senior captain Dana Miller answered with her first-collegiate goal in the 78th minute when she converted Stephanie Dillon's corner kick service at the far post. With the contest appearing headed for a draw, junior Maggie Scott won a footrace to a loose ball to net her first goal in nearly two years with 30 seconds left to deliver the Red and White a 3-2 double overtime victory. Three of Miami's five wins this season have come in overtime (RECAP). This Week: Miami resumes MAC play with a Thursday afternoon home tilt against Northern Illinois (4 PM) before heading to Western Michigan on Sunday.

Matt Bromley led the way with his 8K time of 25:32.9, which placed sixth in Division I (10th overall).
