Box Score

OXFORD, Ohio– Amber Tretter poured in 20 points to lead four Miami players in double figures and the RedHawks never trailed in an 80-53 victory over Western Kentucky Sunday afternoon. Tamar Singer matched her career high with 12 assists as Miami (7-3) earned its third consecutive win. The Lady Toppers fall to 3-6 on the year.

How it Happened:

Miami got off to a hot start shooting from beyond the arc, draining 6-of-7 from distance in the first quarter. Most of those baskets came via Singer assists, as the sophomore point guard collected a half-dozen helpers before subbing out for the first time just over four minutes into the game. The RedHawks used an 11-2 run to take their first double-digit lead at 22-11 on a Tretter triple and finished the quarter with a 28-17 advantage.
The RedHawks picked up where they left off in the second quarter, as a Tretter three-point play sparked a 9-0 run early in the period that ended with a Singer layup to make it 37-19 and force a Western Kentucky timeout. WKU didn't get any closer than 13 points the rest of the half, and Miami finished with a 10-2 spurt to stretch the margin even further. The hosts closed the half with a buzzer-beating three-pointer from Amber Scalia on Singer's 10th assist that gave the Red and White a 50-29 lead heading to the locker room.
Ilse de Vries converted a three-point play for the first points of the third quarter and added a post move with 6:44 remaining in the period to make it 56-31. A floater from Núria Jurjo and a Tretter right-corner three extended the lead to 61-36. Miami went up 64-38 on a backdoor layup from Scalia and took a 64-40 cushion into the final quarter.
A layup from de Vries finished off a 9-0 run in the fourth quarter that gave Miami its largest lead of the day at 73-42. After a late Ashton Elley three-pointer and a Clara Gonzalez Planella step-back jumper, Miami went on to close out a dominant 80-53 victory over the visitors.

Game Notes:

The RedHawks defeated WKU for the first time in nine all-time meetings.
Scalia finished with 13 points, while de Vries added 12 and Jurjo contributed 10.
