Seven different RedHawks are shooting at least 33.3% from distance and four RedHawks have already made 10+ three pointers this season (Macie Taylor and Núria Jurjo have nine apiece).

SAY YES TO NON-CONFERENCE WINS: As the RedHawks open MAC play, Miami has already had one of its most successful non-conference seasons. The last time Miami won eight non-conference games before Jan. 1 was all the way back in 2018-19 when Miami captured nine wins before the calendar change.
