BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – The Miami University women's basketball team (9-11, 2-6 MAC) beat Bowling Green by an 80-59 margin on Saturday.

Miami took an early 9-2 lead, forcing a Bowling Green timeout with 7:26 to play in the first quarter. The Falcons went on a 10-2 run out of the timeout to take BG's first lead of the game, 12-11, just past the midway point of the opening quarter.
The teams went back and forth for the rest of the first quarter. Bowling Green scored the final four points of the opening quarter to take a 18-15 lead after 10 minutes of play.

The rest of the second quarter was all Miami as the RedHawks scored 15-straight points to take a 36-26 lead with under a minute to play before halftime. The Falcons scored the final points of the first half as the RedHawks had the 36-28 advantage going into the locker room.
Dickerson was the first player in the game to reach double figures, doing so with two free throws with 2:14 left in the first half. She added a three-pointer before the first half ended.
Miami outscored Bowling Green 21-10 in the second quarter as the RedHawks shot 56.3 percent from the floor. The Miami defense allowed no three-pointers in the second quarter.
Hoff opened the second half with a basket to regain Miami's 10-point lead before Bowling Green was able to trim that lead to only four points on a three-pointer with 6:31 to play in the third quarter. Scott responded with a three-pointer on the next possession to reach double figures for the afternoon.
Amani Freeman scored the next trio of points for the RedHawks and Kenzie Schmitz scored the final five for the Red and White during the third quarter, including a three-pointer.
