Last Week: The RedHawks (3-3 overall) dropped a pair of games on the road last week. Freshman guard Nike Sibande had a breakout performance, scoring a career-high 21 points on Wednesday, but Tulane was able to pull away in the second half to take an 80-59 victory over the Miami. (Recap) A hot shooting performance by Austin Peay and too many turnovers for the RedHawks resulted in an 86-61 loss on Sunday afternoon. (Recap) This Week: A pair of games await Miami this week.

A late first period goal by the Falcons put the RedHawks behind in the series finale, but they got a goal from Josh Melnick in the second to tie it up and Louie Belpedio gave the Red & White a 2-1 lead late in the third to put them in position for a sweep. However, BGSU struck with 37.8 seconds left to forge an eventual 2-2 tie (Recap).
