MU concluded the weekend with Senior Day and a celebration of retired head coach Bobby Kramig's career before taking on rival Ohio. The RedHawks put together their first shutout of the season with Patricia Koutoulas making six saves to help Miami gain a point in the MAC standings with a 0-0 tie (RECAP).
