OXFORD, Ohio – Eleven different players scored for the Miami University women's basketball team in an 84-53 win over the Tiffin Dragons on Thursday night at Millett Hall. Emily Bratton scored a career-high 14 points as Miami improves to 2-1 on the year.

Joining Bratton in double figures were Lakresha Edwards (12), Amber Tretter (12) and Hennessey Luu-Brown (12). Bratton and Maya Chandler added three assists apiece and Edwards had a game-high six rebounds.

How it Happened:

Miami raced out to a 14-2 advantage less than four minutes into the contest with four points from both Tretter and Ilse de Vries. Tiffin connected on a free throw following a timeout, but Bratton converted a three-point play and moments later found Edwards in the corner for a triple for a 20-3 lead. Edwards added two more three-pointers in the closing minutes, helping the RedHawks to a 31-11 first quarter lead.
Enjulina Gonzalez scored the first seven points of the second quarter and Chandler found Tretter for an easy layup to push Miami's lead to 40-11 with six minutes left in the half. Tiffin knocked in four triples in a span of three minutes to make it a 48-23 contest with 2:45 to play. Miami led 50-28 at the half.
Miami's defense held Tiffin scoreless for the first seven minutes of the third quarter, while five different RedHawks scored before the media timeout as Miami extended its lead to 63-28. The Dragons made a trio of three pointers to end the quarter as Miami led 68-40.
Edwards and Luu-Brown connected from behind the arc and a layup from Cori Lard gave Miami a 76-40 lead to begin the fourth. A Luu-Brown layup with under a minute to go gave Miami their largest lead of the game, 84-51.

Game Notes:

Emily Bratton finished with a career-best 14 points.
Amber Tretter established a new career-best in blocks with four.
