DOUBLE TROUBLE: Amber Tretter has 24 double-doubles in her career and is a near walking double-double in points (13.5) and rebounds (9.4) this season. She is also on pace to become just the second RedHawk in program history to record 1,000 career rebounds and has scored 791 career points, which ranks 47th in program history.

BY THE MARGINS: Miami currently is third in the MAC in scoring (73.2) and second in defense (60.5), which results in a 12.6 point margin of victory, second-best in the conference. The RedHawks also lead the MAC in field goal percentage (.459), three-pointers made (94) and turnover margin (4.6).

COLORADO RECAP: Amber Scalia scored 18 points and Amber Tretter added 14, but it wasn't enough as Miami dropped a 75-55 decision to Colorado on Sunday afternoon.

ABOUT GREEN BAY: Green Bay is 8-4 on the year and a perfect 3-0 in conference play. The Phoenix are coming off a 79-74 loss to No. 20 Washington last Saturday. Meghan Schultz is tops on the team in scoring (14.3 ppg.) and rebounding (5.3 rpg.). Jenna Guyer is the only other double-figure scorer at 12.0 points/game.

SERIES HISTORY: In the lone meeting between these two programs, Miami downed Green Bay 75-66 on Dec. 1, 1990.

LONG RANGE BOMBERS: Miami ranks 44th nationally at 8.5 three-pointers per game. The RedHawks have made double-digit three-pointers in five of 11 games this season, including 13 at Purdue, 12 against Marist, Coastal Carolina and WKU and 10 against Bellarmine. Seven different RedHawks are shooting at least 33.3% from distance and four RedHawks have already made 10+ three pointers this season.

REPEATING THE WINS: For the second-straight season the RedHawks captured wins in seven of their first 10 contests. Prior to last season, Miami had not won seven games before conference place since the 2018-19 RedHawks opened the year 7-1.

THINGS CHANGE QUICKLY: The RedHawks rank 40th nationally in assist/turnover ratio (1.16 per game). This season the RedHawks have 198 assists compared to 170 turnovers. Last season Miami had 409 assists and 534 turnovers and in Coach Box's first year the RedHawks posted 336 assists and 547 turnovers. Miami has had more assists than turnovers in nine of 11 contests this season and currently rank 28th nationally with 18.0 assists per contest.

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 589 games and make 296 starts. They have also combined to score in double figures 155 times.

SINGING HER PRAISES: Tamar Singer, one of the best freshman in the MAC a year ago, has taken her game to another level in 2025-26. Last season she averaged 6.3 points and 4.2 assists per game while running the point. This year she is averaging 11.1 points and 7.1 assists, which ranks ninth nationally. She has surpassed 20 points twice this season (none last year) and has led the team in scoring four times in 2025-26 (once all of last year).

PASSING RECORDS: Tamar Singer is threatening nearly every passing record in program history. The school recorded for assists in a game is 13 (Courtney Osborn and D'Nelle Seiple) ... Singer has twice posted 12 assists (IU-Southeast and WKU). Versus the Lady Toppers she has six assists before the first media time out (which has to be a school record). The school record for assists in a season is 175 (Jenna Schone) ... With no postseason play, Singer is on pace for 224 assists this season. The career record for assists is 596 (Heather Cusick)...Singer is on pace for 349 assists through her first two years of play.

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. This season de Vries is averaging career bests in points, rebounds and assists. She has already posted six double-digit scoring contests after just three in 2024-25.
