The Miami University women's basketball team dropped an 84-73 overtime decision to Ohio University (3-14, 1-5 MAC) on Saturday afternoon. Miami (7-12, 2-4 MAC) erased a 60-47 deficit with 2:55 to play to send the contest to overtime, but it wasn't enough for the Red and White in the Battle of the Bricks.
 
Ivy Wolf was one of three RedHawks in double figures with a team-high 19 points. Amani Freeman added 14 and Peyton Scott chipped in with 13. Ohio's Yaya Felder had 28 points to lead the Bobcats.
 
How it Happened:

• Ohio opened the game a perfect 3-of-3 from the field and had an 8-2 advantage just two minutes into the quarter. A Wolf triple with 20 seconds left in the first cut the deficit, 19-13, but Ohio drilled a triple from the corner as time expired for a 22-13 lead after 10 minutes of play.
• The Bobcats knocked in back-to-back triples and added a layup to begin the second quarter and led 30-13 with eight minutes remaining in the quarter. In the last three minutes of the half, Miami closed on an 8-2 run, highlighted by back-to-back three pointers from Wolf and Cluse to trail 36-27 at the half.
• A triple from Sierra Morrow shrunk the deficit to just six, 38-32, but an 8-2 Bobcat run midway through the third pushed OU's lead back to 46-34. Ohio led 51-39 after three quarters of play.
• Miami scored the first four points of the final stanza to get within single digits, but Ohio scored the next seven for a 15-point advantage. With Miami trailing by six with 10 seconds to play, Wolf drilled a three pointer in the corner as the RedHawks trailed 66-63. After Ohio missed a pair of free throws, Wolf was fouled on a three-point attempt and the sophomore hit nothing but net on all three free throws, sending the game to overtime.
• Scott opened the quarter with a three-point play to give Miami its first lead since scoring on the opening possession of the contest, but Ohio scored the next eight to lead 74-69 with 1:35 to play. Miami would get no closer.
