ON TAP: The Miami University women's basketball team looks to keep its winning streak in tact as it travels to face the Northern Kentucky Norse on Sunday, Dec. 11 at 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. Wolf leads the team (and the MAC) with a 18.3 scoring average and has scored at least 17 points in six of seven games this year. Wolf also ranks fourth in the MAC with 4.2 assists per game.

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. Cluse currently ranks fourth in the MAC with a 17.6 scoring average. She is also fifth in rebounding (7.6) and third in shooting percentage (.500).

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 of WKU. Scott, while still playing limited minutes, made her first start of the season last week against EKU.

EKU RECAP:  The Miami University women's basketball team out-rebounded the Eastern Kentucky Colonels 40-27 and used a balanced scoring attack in a 73-68 victory last Friday (Dec. 2). Ivy Wolf led Miami with 22 points and was joined in double figures by Peyton Scott (13), Maddi Cluse (12) and Sierra Morrow (11). 

ABOUT NORTHERN KENTUCKY: NKU is 5-4 on the season and like the RedHawks, have won their last two contests. Lindsay Duvall is tops on the team, averaging 20.0 points and 9.7 rebounds per contest.

SERIES WITH NKU: This will be the 16th meeting between the two schools with NKU leading 8-7 all-time in the series. These same two programs played a year ago in Oxford, with the Norse capturing a 70-59 victory. Peyton Scott led all scorers with 24 points a year ago.

CLEAN THE GLASS:  On the season, the RedHawks are -3.0 in rebounding margin per game, but over the last two games, Miami has out-rebounded their opponents 77-57. The RedHawks out-rebounded Loyola 37-30 and won the board battle 40-27 over EKU.

THREE'S COMPANY:  The RedHawks are in search of their first three-game win streak since the 2019-20 season when Miami won three straight on Nov. 14 through Nov. 20.

GREAT SCOTT: Senior guard Peyton Scott has accomplished a ton since arriving in Oxford, all while maintaining a 3.78 grade-point average and majoring in sports leadership and management.
• She has scored 1,474 points and ranks ninth all-time on Miami's scoring list.
• Scott was named to the Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Year Preseason Award Watch List.
• Two seasons ago, she scored 30-plus points in five different games, including 39 versus Ball State, a new Millett Hall record. She has surpassed 30-plus points six different times in her career.
• She has scored in double figures 73 times in her career and has surpassed 20 points 27 different times.
• Named second-team All-MAC the past two seasons and was on the MAC All-Freshman team in 2019-20.
• Scott has started 84 of 87 games in her career.

MORE FROM MORROW: After being shutout in her debut against Xavier, Sierra Morrow has scored in double-figures in four of her last six games. She scored a career-high 14 points at Memphis and is coming off back-to-back 11 point efforts versus Loyola and EKU (both Miami wins).

500/1,500 AND COUNTING: Peyton Scott has played in 87 career games is just 26 points away from 1,500 in her career. Scott would be just the eighth RedHawks in program history to surpass 1,500 career points. Lauren Dickerson passed 1,500 points in her 86th game and Courtney Osborn did the same in game 89. Scott also has 486 career rebounds and would become just the third RedHawks to score 1,500 points and secure 500 career rebounds.

500 CLUB: Ivy Wolf is closing in on 500 career point and will be one of the fastest to ever do it. Wolf has scored those 493 points in 36 games. Courtney Osborn surpassed 500 points in 31 games, Lauren Dickerson did it in 32 and most recently, Peyton Scott went over 500 career points in her 38th career game.
