YPSILANTI, Mich. – Junior Amber Tretter posted 25 points and 13 rebounds in a 78-60 win over Eastern Michigan on Wednesday evening. With the win, Miami (23-5, 14-1 MAC) maintains the top spot in the Mid-American Conference standings, two weeks prior to the start of the conference tournament.

How it Happened:

Miami held Eastern Michigan without a field goal for nearly the first six minutes of the game and led 13-1 at the first media timeout. After Tretter opened the contest with a layup, Singer beat her defender to the rim for a three-point play. After EMU ended the drought with a free throw, Tretter and de Vries knocked down triples and Núria Jurjo converted a pair of free throws for the early 12-point advantage. EMU made a triple coming out of the media timeout, but 20 seconds later, Tretter's three-pointer made it 16-4. The Eagles got as close as 19-10 before Tretter made her third three-pointer of the quarter and Emily VanTimmeren's put-back made it 24-12 after one quarter of play.
A 10-0 run early in the second quarter that included triples from Tretter and Mio Sakano made it 36-14 with 5:46 to play in the half. EMU closed the gap, 38-19, but a three-pointer from Ashton Elley pushed the lead to 41-19. The RedHawks led 48-25 at the half.
EMU opened the second half on a 5-1 run to trim the deficit, 49-30 with 6:22 left in the third. Coming out of a timeout, Tretter knocked down her fifth three-pointer of the game and a bucket from Scalia made it 54-32 midway through the third quarter. The RedHawks made just one field goal in the final five minutes of the third, but did convert on 6-of-10 free throws to lead 63-49 heading to the final stanza.
The two teams combined for just two made field goals in the first five minutes of the fourth quarter, but the RedHawks maintained a 67-54 advantage. After a Glenn Box timeout, Singer converted a layup and a pair of free throws from Clara Gonzalez Planella stretched the lead, 71-54, with 4:28 remaining. The Eagles closed to within 73-60 with 90 seconds to play before Scalia drilled a straight-away three-pointer to close the door on the Miami win.
