ON TAP: The Miami University women's basketball team looks to snap a two-game losing streak as they host Ohio University Saturday, Feb. 1. Opening tip is scheduled for 1 p.m. in the annual Battle of the Bricks.

GOING STREAKING: Enjulina Gonzalez has scored in double figures 14-straight games, dating back to Dec. 1. During that span, she has surpassed 20 points five different times, including a season-high 29 points in a win at FIU. She has been named MAC Player of the Week three times and currently ranks third in the MAC in scoring (16.9).

DOUBLE TROUBLE: Amber Tretter has recorded 14 double-doubles in her career, including four this year. On the season she nearly averages a double-double in points (11.0) and rebounds (7.8), despite only playing 26.6 minutes per contest. She ranks fifth in the MAC in rebounding and eighth in blocks (0.7).

ABOUT OHIO: Ohio enters Saturday at 4-15 overall and 2-7 in MAC play. The Bobcats rank 11th in the MAC in scoring (59.1 ppg) and are led by Kennedi Watkins (15.7 ppg.) and Bailey Tabeling (12.2 ppg.). OU ranks 11th in scoring defense, allowing 73.5 ppg.

SERIES HISTORY: This will be the 102nd Battle of the Bricks, dating all the way back to Jan. 24, 1975. Miami leads the all-time series 61-40 and is 36-14 all-time at home versus the Bobcats.

NOTES FROM TOLEDO LOSS: 
• Miami dropped a 64-59 contest to Toledo on Wednesday to fall to 4-5 in MAC play, but did remain in a three-way tie for sixth-place in the MAC standings.
• Enjulina Gonzalez scored 19 points and Tamar Singer scored a career-best 14 points to go along with six assists, three rebounds and four steals.
• Miami trailed 36-18 with 2:12 in the second quarter, but outscored the Rockets 33-14 over the next 14:54 to claim a 51-50 advantage with 7:18 to play.
• Toledo out-rebounded the RedHawks 39-22 for the contest, but Miami forced 18 turnovers and committed a season-low nine.

WINNING WITH DEFENSE: Miami ranks atop the conference, allowing 57.5 points per game (47th nationally). The RedHawks have held five opponents to under 50 points this season.
• Miami has forced 418 turnovers this season, second-best in the conference. The RedHawks are 8-3 on the year when they force their opponent into 20-plus turnovers. 
• Miami leads the conference with 11.9 steals/game and features six players ranked in the top-20: Tamar Singer (2.3, 5th), Cori Lard (1.5, 11th), Maya Chandler (1.5, 11th), Amber Tretter (1.5, 11th), Enjulina Gonzalez (1.4, 17th) and Ilse de Vries (1.4, 17th).

POINTING TO THE PAINT: Back on Jan. 18, Miami dropped a contest to Buffalo, where the RedHawks attempted a season-high 34 triples (made 9) and recorded just 12 points in the paint. Since that contest, the RedHawks have recorded 98 points in the paint (32.7/game). The Red and White added 28 points down low versus Akron, 34 against Kent State and had 36 on Wednesday at Toledo.

THAT 70'S SHOW: It's not all about defense when it comes to Miami. The RedHawks are a perfect 7-0 this year when they score 70-plus points in a contest. Much of that scoring has come in the first and third quarters. Miami has outscored their opponents 317-245 in the first quarter and 328-283 to begin the second half.
 
CHASING RECORDS: Miami has already surpassed last season's win total (9-20 last year) and at 4-5 in MAC play, the RedHawks are closing in on last year's conference win total (6-12 a year ago).

BOMBS AWAY...BUT: Miami ranks fourth in the MAC in three pointers made per game (7.3) and are third in percentage made from behind the arc (33.9%). Enjulina Gonzalez (44.3%) ranks second in the MAC and 11 different RedHawks shoot at least 30% from long distance. The only downside ... over the past two games, Miami is just 5-of-32 (15.6%) on three-point attempts.

1,000 POINT CLUB: Maya Chandler has scored 1,204 career points between three different programs. She has scored 178 points with the RedHawks, had 149 points in one season at SMU and in three years at Loyola-Chicago she scored 877 points and was named the Missouri Valley Conference Freshman of the Year in 2020-21. She has played in 136 games throughout her career, making 116 starts.

SINGING HER PRAISES: Freshman Tamar Singer is playing nearly 28 minutes a contest (played all 40 at Toledo), third best on the team. She ranks ninth in the MAC in assists (4.0), 10th in assist/turnover ratio (1.1) and fifth in steals (2.2). She has scored in double-figures four times this year and has posted at least five assists eight different times.
