BALANCING ACT: While Peyton Scott (19.7) is getting a majority of the offensive attention, Miami has a total of eight players averaging at least 3.7 points per game this season. Last year, just four RedHawks averaged over 4.0 points per game.

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 1,397 points and ranks 10th all-time on Miami's scoring list. 
• She currently ranks fourth in the MAC in scoring (19.7), fourth in field goal percentage (46.7%), 15th in rebounding (6.0), 10th in assists (3.8) and seventh in steals (1.8).
• Has made 73 of her last 81 free throw attempts (90.1%) -- ranks third in the MAC at 85.6% 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 52 contests, Scott has more 30 point games (6) then under 10 point games (3).
• She has scored in double figures in 48 of her last 50 contests.

NOTHING BUT NET: The RedHawks enter Saturday's contest as the second-best free throw shooting team in the conference at 72.6%. Ivy Wolf, while technically not listed in the MAC stats due to a lack of attempts, her 86.8% from the line would rank second in the MAC. Scott ranks third (85.6%) and Katie Davidson is 12th (76.5%). Edyn Battle is 14th (73.6%). Miami's biggest downfall is the lack of attempts. The RedHawks have attempted 318 free throws compared to 562 for its opponents this year.

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 15 of her last 20 contests, including a career-high 20 points in the win over Western Michigan.
