ON TAP: The Miami University women's basketball team looks to squash a two-game losing streak with a Saturday, Nov. 26 trip to face the Evansville Purple Aces. Opening tip is set for 2 p.m.

HUNGRY LIKE A WOLF: After an outstanding freshman campaign, where she averaged 12.6 points per contest,  sophomore Ivy Wolf has taken the next step in her career. She scored 17 points in the season opener versus Xavier and added 18 in a win over Vermont. She added a career-high seven assists at Memphis and scored another 17 points at WKU.

GETTING A CLUE: After an up and down freshman season, where Maddi Cluse averaged 6.5 points per contest, the second-year RedHawk seems to have things figured out in 2022-23. Despite playing just 14 minutes at WKU (and not scoring), Cluse still leads the RedHawks in scoring (18.5) and rebounding (7.5).

WELCOME BACK: Peyton Scott suffered a knee injury in the last game of the 2021-22 campaign and made her season debut on Monday (Nov. 21) against the Lady Toppers. Scott had three points and three steals in nine minutes of action.

WESTERN KENTUCKY RECAP:  Ivy Wolf scored 17 and Katey Richason added 11 (career high), but it wasn't enough for the Miami University women's basketball team in a 91-55 loss at Western Kentucky (1-2) on Monday night. Richason played a career-high 30 minutes and added nine rebounds as well.

ABOUT EVANSVILLE: Evansville is 2-2 on the season for a squad that averages 71.8 points per game, but allows 86.5. The Purple Aces feature three double-digit scorers, led by Myia Clark (13.8), A'Niah Griffin (12.8) and Abby Feit (12.3). Barbora Tomancova, the 6-foot-3 center, averages 8.8 points and 6.5 boards per contest.

GIVE HER A HAND: Senior Amani Freeman missed 17 games last season with a hand injury, but is completely healthy this season. Last year she opened with 10 points and four rebounds at Valpo and added nine points and four blocks at Purdue in 24 minutes of action before exiting with the hand injury. Freeman scored a career-best 14 points in the win over Vermont.

ALL STREAKS COME TO AN END: Sophomore Ivy Wolf had a streak of 30-straight free throw makes snapped on Monday night. She entered the contest 21-for-21 and made her next nine, before missing a free throw late in loss to WKU.

MORE FROM MORROW: After being shutout in her debut against Xavier, Morrow recorded back-to-back career-highs in points. She scored 12 points in a win over Vermont and five days later added 14 on the road at Memphis. She scored six points on 2-of-3 shooting at WKU.

NEW FACES, NEW PLACES: Miami has three new additions from last season on the roster.
