ON TAP: The Miami University women's basketball team hosts Cedarville on Friday, Nov. 7 at 5 p.m.Â
DOUBLE TROUBLE: Amber Tretter has recorded 20 double-doubles in her career, including 10 last season. Throughout her career she has averaged 10.7 points and 8.7 rebounds and has 519 rebounds through her first two seasons (+1 game) with Miami. She is currently on pace to become just the second RedHawk in program history to record 1,000 career rebounds.
REDHAWKS OPEN SEASON WITH WIN: Miami captured a 63-53 road win over Coastal Carolina on Monday. The RedHawks knocked in 12 triples and forced 25 CCU turnovers, while also snapping Coastal Carolina's 20-game home opener winning streak. Tamar Singer led the way with a game-high 16 points, while Amber Scalia added 15 points in her Miami debut.
STRONG NUCLEUS: Miami's roster is littered with eight newcomers, but Miami's four returners (Tamar Singer, Amber Tretter, Núria Jurjo and Ilse de Vries) scored 40 of Miami's 63 points at Coastal. Tretter added a game-high 11 rebounds and Jurjo made a career-best three triples on Monday.
ABOUT CEDARVILLE: Cedarville has yet to play in 2025-26, but last season posted a 14-15 record. Ella Sellars averaged 11.2 points/game last season as a freshman, and Brianna Zajicek returns for her senior season after averaging 10.4 points/game last season.
SERIES HISTORY: Miami is 5-1 all-time in the series that dates back to Jan. 20, 1975. These two squads have not seen each other since Dec. 28, 2016, a contest Miami won 70-57. The RedHawks are a perfect 3-0 all-time versus the Yellow Jackets in Oxford.
2024-25 HIGHLIGHTS:Â
• Last season Miami averaged 66.5 points per game, up 12.6 points/game from the 2023-24 season.Â
• Miami had the top scoring defense in the MAC, allowing 59.1 points/game
• The 19-win season last year was Miami's best since the 2017-18 RedHawks won 21 contests.
• Miami's 10-win improvement from the previous year was the second-best single season turnaround in program history.
NEW FACES, NEW PLACES: Miami has eight new players this season, which includes five transfers, two freshmen and a red-shirt freshman. Joining the RedHawks via the portal include Amber Scalia (St. Thomas), Clara Gonzalez Planella (Jacksonville State), Macie Taylor (Wright State), Ashton Elley (UAB), and Brooke Blumenfeld (NIU). Coach Box also added two freshmen (Mio Sakano and Anna Hurst) and Emily VanTimmeren, who technically joined the RedHawks last December, has yet to see action with the Red and White.
NEW, BUT NOT YOUNG: Despite eight new players on the roster, the RedHawks feature an experienced squad. Overall, the 12 players have combined to play in 491 games and make 246 starts. They have also combined to score in double figures 123 times.
SINGING HER PRAISES: Tamar Singer played 29.2 minutes a contest last season, running the point as a true freshman. She ranked seventh in the MAC in assists (4.2), 10th in assist/turnover ratio (1.1) and fifth in steals (2.2). She scored in double-figures seven times last year and posted at least five assists 15 different times. She opened the 2025-26 season with 16 points, four rebounds and three assists in 37 minutes of action against Coastal.
DE VRIES PLAYS OVERSEAS: This summer, sophomore Ilse de Vries represented the Netherlands as a member of the U20 National Team at the annual FIBA U20 EuroBasket League. In seven games, she averaged 11.1 points and 5.4 rebounds per contest. In her first year with the Red and White she averaged 4.8 points and 3.1 rebounds per contest. She also finished second on the team with 28 blocks.
WINNING WITH DEFENSE: Last season Miami led the MAC in scoring defense, allowing 59.1 points per game (60th nationally), which was the second-best defensive effort in program history (The 1977-78 Miami team allowed 56.9 ppg.) The RedHawks were 13-4 on the year when they force their opponent into 20-plus turnovers and led the conference with 11.5 steals per game in 2024-25.Â
THAT 70'S SHOW: It's not all about defense when it comes to Miami. The RedHawks were a perfect 11-0 last year when they scored 70-plus points in a contest.Â
CHANDLER RETURNS: Head Coach Glenn Box may have a new assistant coach this year, but she is not new to the program. Maya Chandler, who played for the RedHawks last season, is in her first year as an assistant coach. Last season, Chandler averaged 11.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists per contest.
