Miami Travels to Face BGSU on Monday

ON TAP: The Miami University women's basketball team heads to face the Falcons of Bowling Green on Monday, Feb. 14. Opening tip is slated for 7 p.m. It's the first of three-straight road contests for Miami this week.

HUNGRY LIKE A WOLF: Over her past five games, freshman Ivy Wolf is averaging 16.2 points, while shooting 45.5% (30-66) from the floor and 46.2% (12-26) from behind the arc. Wolf had 20 points back on Feb. 2 versus Toledo, her second 20-point performance of her career and had a career-high eight rebounds in the win over CMU.

MOVIN' ON UP: With 24 points versus CMU on Saturday, junior guard Peyton Scott moved up to 11th all-time at Miami with 1,318 career points. She is just 31 points shy of cracking the top-10 in Miami school history.

REDHAWKS SOAR PAST CMU:  Peyton Scott paced four Miami starters in double figures with 24 points and the RedHawks scored a season-high 90 points in a 90-77 victory over Central Michigan Saturday afternoon. Ivy Wolf added 18 points and a career-high eight rebounds, while Edyn Battle finished with 16 points and Katie Davidson chipped in 12.

OFFENSIVE EXPLOSION:  In the win over the Chippewas the RedHawks established a new season-high with 90 points. Miami was 33-of-66 from the floor (second-best shooting performance of the year) and was 17-of-22 from the free throw line (season-bests in makes and attempts). Miami finished the contest with 46 points in the paint and 22 fast break points, both third-best this year.

DO I KNOW YOU?:  Miami entered last Saturday's contest averaging 28.5 points in the first half this season and went on to record a season-high 54 first-half points versus the Chippewas.

BALANCING ACT: While Peyton Scott (19.3) is getting a majority of the offensive attention, Miami has a total of eight players averaging at least 3.9 points per game this season. Last year, just four RedHawks averaged over 4.0 points per game.

NEW FACES, NEW PLACES: Miami has seven additions to the RedHawks in 2021-22 that are contributing numbers to Miami's success. In all, Ivy Wolf, Maddi Cluse, Edyn Battle, Tajah Foster-Walker, Jordan Tuff, Sydney Watkins and Katey Richason are combining for 36.6 points and 19.0 rebounds per game.

ABOUT BOWLING GREEN: The Falcons are 11-10 on the year and 6-6 in MAC play, which includes an 80-51 loss at Toledo last Saturday. BGSU has four scorers averaging double figures, led by Kadie Hempfling (11.1 ppg.)

SERIES WITH THE FALCONS: This will be the 89th meeting between the two schools with BGSU holding a 54-34 all-time advantage. Bowling Green has won the last three meetings and the RedHawks have not won a road contest in this series since Feb. 1, 2020.

LIKE A FINE WINE: As the game goes on the RedHawks seem to improve. This year, the RedHawks are averaging 14.9 points per quarter in the first half. They average 18.0 points per game in the third quarter and 20.4 in the fourth. In the final stanza alone, Miami has outscored its opponents 448-428 on the year.

GREAT SCOTT: Junior guard Peyton Scott has accomplished a ton since arriving in Oxford, all while maintaining a 3.73 grade-point average and majoring in sports leadership and management.
• She has scored 1,318 points and ranks 11th all-time on Miami's scoring list. She is just 31 points shy of cracking Miami's top-10 scoring list.
• She currently ranks fifth in the MAC in scoring (19.3), fifth in field goal percentage (45.2%), 15th in rebounding (6.1), ninth in assists (3.9) and ninth in steals (1.7).
• Has made 59 of her last 65 free throw attempts (90.8%) -- ranks third in the MAC at 85.7% for the year.
• Last season alone, 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 had a stretch last season from Feb. 3-Feb. 13, 2021 in which she scored 30-plus points in four straight games, the first RedHawk in school history to accomplish such a feat.
• In her last 48 contests, Scott has more 30 point games (6) then under 10 point games (3).
• She has scored in double figures in 44 of her last 46 contests.

GOING TO BATTLE: The RedHawks have leaned heavily on Edyn Battle lately. After surpassing 10-plus points just once in her first six games, Battle has scored in double figures in 12 of her last 16 contests, including a career-high 20 points in the win over Western Michigan.
