Box Score

OXFORD, Ohio – The Miami University women's basketball team shot a season-high 54% in an 82-56 win over Bradley University on Friday evening at Millett Hall. Miami (4-5) finished the night 34-for-63 from the floor and 9-of-18 from three.

Miami's hot shooting almost overshadowed Maddi Cluse's historic night. The sophomore became just the second RedHawk in program history to record a triple-double, finishing with 18 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Joining Cluse in double figures were Ivy Wolf (21), Sierra Morrow (12) and Peyton Scott (11).

How it Happened:

Cluse and Wolf combined for 12 points as the RedHawks shot 53% in the first quarter to claim a 21-13 advantage after 10 minutes of play.
As good as the offense was in the first, it was even better in the second period. Miami shot 65% from the floor and a perfect 6-of-6 from behind the arc as they went to the locker room with a 50-29 halftime lead.
Miami outscored the Braves 21-18 in the third and 11-9 in the fourth to cruise to a 26 point victory.
