Paula Peña Martinez doubled the RedHawk lead 2-0 with under five minutes remaining in the third quarter. She was assisted by Schlueter. The RedHawks held this lead through the end of the third quarter.
Some excellent Miami defense through the fourth quarter held the score at 2-0 and gave Miami the shutout win.
The RedHawks claimed their eighth consecutive regular season championship.
