OXFORD, Ohio– The Miami University women's basketball team set a program record with 17 made three-pointers en route to a 90-70 blowout victory over rival Ohio in the Battle of the Bricks, extending their winning streak to 11 games in the process. The RedHawks are now 18-4 on the season and moved to 10-0 in MAC play for the first time ever, improving to 9-0 at home this season in front of a program-record crowd of 5,034. All five Miami starters scored in double figures, led by Amber Scalia's 23 points. The Bobcats fall to 12-8, 6-4 MAC with the result.

How it Happened:

The visitors grabbed an early 15-5 lead before Miami battled back with a Scalia three-point play and a Tamar Singer triple to pull within four at the midway point of the opening quarter. The RedHawks trimmed the margin to a single point at 19-18 after Singer followed a Clara Gonzalez Planella three by knocking down a shot from the logo to beat the shot clock. A 9-2 spurt for Ohio helped the Bobcats take a 28-21 lead after 10 minutes of play.
Trailing 30-21 early in the second quarter, Miami ripped off a 16-0 run to take control of the game and grab the lead for good, including five points each from Ilse de Vries and Amber Tretter. Núria Jurjo capped the run with a three-pointer to make it 37-30 with 5:33 remaining in the half. The RedHawks took their first double-digit lead at 45-34 on back-to-back triples from Jurjo and de Vries later in the period. Singer drained a three with 16 seconds to go to make it 48-39 at the break.
A Tretter three-point play and Scalia triple staked the Red and White to a 54-41 lead early in the third quarter, but the Bobcats responded with seven-straight points to pull within six. Miami answered back with a 14-5 run, stretching the margin to 68-53 at the 2:17 mark after back-to-back layups from Scalia and Macie Taylor in transition. A Singer three and a Tretter reverse layup helped the RedHawks to a 73-61 advantage to end the third quarter.
Miami's lead eclipsed 20 points on Scalia's shot from downtown with 4:53 to play, tying the team record for most threes made in a game. Scalia connected again from behind the arc with 3:35 left, moving the score to 88-66 and giving the RedHawks their 17th made three-pointer of the afternoon. Miami finished off a 90-70 victory after a pair of Ashton Elley free throws in the final minute.
