CLEVELAND, Ohio – Coming off arguably the greatest regular season in Miami women's basketball history, the RedHawks were showered with post season awards on Tuesday morning. Head Coach Glenn Box was named MAC Coach of the Year, while Amber Tretter was named First-Team All-MAC and Ilse de Vries and Tamar Singer were placed on the All-MAC Third Team and All-Defensive Team.
Box becomes the first Miami MAC Coach of the Year since Maria Fantanarosa captured the award back in 2004. His RedHawks set a school record 25 wins this season and captured its first MAC Regular Season Championship since the 2003-04 campaign. Box's defense ranks first in the MAC in scoring (58.7) and turnover margin (4.94) and he has rebuilt the RedHawks' program. After a 9-20 season to begin his career, the RedHawks posted 19 wins last season. This year, the RedHawks posted a 16-2 MAC record after being picked seventh in the preseason coach's poll.
Tretter earns first-team All-MAC accolades for the first time in her career after earning honorable mention as a freshman and sophomore. She ranks 10th in scoring (14.5), fifth in rebounding (8.1) and sixth in field goal percentage (51.7%) in the conference and has nine double-doubles this season. She has scored in double figures 25 times and has led the RedHawks in scoring a team-best nine times this year.
de Vries had a breakout campaign in 2025-26, posting career bests in scoring (12.8), rebounding (4.9) and three-point shooting (37.6%). She has scored in double figures 20 times this season and is eighth in the MAC in three-point percentage. Defensively, she is tops in the conference in blocks (1.8) and added 35 steals this year.
Singer is currently fourth in the nation at 7.1 assists/game and is averaging 10.6 points and 3.5 rebounds per contest. She has six double-digit assists performances this season and has led Miami in scoring six different times in 2025-26. Defensively, Singer ranks 38th nationally in steals (83) and has at least three steals in 14 games this season.
The RedHawks return to action on Wednesday, March 11 as the top seed in the MAC Tournament. Opening tip is scheduled for 11 a.m. versus Kent State.
