Hockey
Last Week: Miami (9-11-2, 4-7-1-0 NCHC) suffered its first NCHC series sweep of the year at the hands of Omaha over the weekend. Friday saw UNO and MU combine for a league record 18 goals as despite matching a season high with seven, Miami was on the short end of a wild 11-7 decision (Recap). After a scoreless first period on Saturday, the Mavericks netted four second period tallies to grab a 4-0 lead after 40 minutes. The RedHawks rallied as Phil Knies scored twice for the second-straight game and Josh Melnick also found the net to pull them within 4-3 with 2:32 remaining. Despite the uptick in pressure, that was as close as Miami would get in dropping the series finale 4-3 (Recap). This Week: Miami is idle until Jan. 26 when it opens a series at Colorado College.
Men's Basketball
Last Week: Miami (9-8 overall, 2-2 MAC) earned a split in its two conference games this past week. The RedHawks went on an offensive explosion in the first half to jump to a 29 point lead, and then held on for an 80-69 victory over Kent State Tuesday. (Recap) The score was nearly even after a back-and-forth first half, but an early second half run proved to be the difference as the Miami fell 82-66 to Buffalo Saturday afternoon (Recap). This Week: The RedHawks have a pair of home games this week. On Tuesday, Miami takes on Bowling Green at 7 p.m. The Red and White then welcome Ball State to Millett Hall on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. Both games will air live on ESPN3.

Women's Basketball
Last Week: The RedHawks (9-7, 1-4 MAC) dropped a pair of games this past week.

MU got off to a strong start and led after one quarter of play. However, the Red & White would go cold from the field as the Eagles walked away with a 74-59 victory (Recap).
