ON TAP: The Miami University women's basketball team wraps up a three-game road swing with a Monday evening tip at Kent State. Game is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.

ROAD WARRIORS: Following this three-game road trip, Miami returns home for a pair of contests before once again hitting the road for three more contests.

HUNGRY LIKE A WOLF: In the loss to Toledo, freshman Ivy Wolf scored 20 points, her first 20-point effort since opening the year with 23 at home versus Valpo. The freshman is currently averaging 10.5 points per game and leads the team with 32 three pointers made. She added 16 points in the win at Kalamazoo on Saturday.

MOVIN' ON UP: With 17 points at WMU on Saturday, junior guard Peyton Scott moved up to 14th all-time at Miami with 1,253 career points. She is just 96 points shy of cracking the top-10 in Miami school history.

REDHAWKS SNAP FIVE-GAME LOSING STREAK WITH WIN AT WMU:  Behind a season-low six turnovers and balanced scoring from Edyn Battle (20 points), Peyton Scott (17 points) and Ivy Wolf (16 points), the RedHawks downed Western Michigan 80-67 on Saturday. The Broncos, who came into Saturday's contest third in the conference, were led by Lauren Ross with 16 points. Miami led 47-46 with 4:06 to play in the third quarter before erupting for a 27-8 run over the next 11 minutes of action.

TAKE CARE:  In Miami's first 17 games they averaged 19.6 turnovers per contest and had a season-low of 14 turnovers two different times. In the last two games versus Toledo and WMU, Miami has committed just 17 total turnovers, establishing season bests in back-to-back games (had 11 at Toledo and 6 at WMU). The backcourt duo of Peyton Scott (2) and Ivy Wolf (2) have committed just four total turnovers in a combined 141 minutes over the past two contests.

BALANCING ACT: While Peyton Scott (19.0) 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.

NEW FACES, NEW PLACES: Miami has six 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 and Katey Richason are combining for 35.9 points and 18.2 rebounds per game.

ABOUT THE FLASHES: Kent State is 12-7 on the year and 4-6 in Mid-American Conference play. The Flashes are one of the better defensive teams in the MAC, allowing just 60.2 points per game. Offensively, they have five players averaging between 9.5 and 12.8 points per game. Nia Blackford nearly averages a double-double at 10.9 points and 9.5 rebounds per contest.

SERIES WITH KSU: This will be the 96th meeting between the two schools with Kent State holding a 48-47 all-time series advantage. These two teams split last year's results, which included a 61-58 win for the RedHawks on a buzzer beater from Peyton Scott in Millett Hall. Scott finished that game with 25 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists.

LIKE A FINE WINE: No easy way to put it, but the RedHawks have struggled offensively in the first half this season, averaging 28.8 points in the first 20 minutes of action. As the game goes on, the offense improves. The RedHawks average 38.7 points per game in the second half and have outscored their opponents 401-361 in the fourth quarter.

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 1,253 points and ranks 14th all-time on Miami's scoring list. She is just 96 points shy of cracking Miami's top-10 scoring list.
• She currently ranks fifth in the MAC in scoring (18.9), 15th in rebounding (6.1), 11th in assists (3.8) and seventh in steals (1.8).
• Has made 41 of her last 44 free throw attempts (93.2%).
• 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 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 46 contests, Scott has more 30 point games (6) then under 10 point games (3).
• She has scored in double figures in 41 of her last 43 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 10 of her last 13 contests, including a career-high 20 points in the win over Western Michigan on Saturday.
