OXFORD, Ohio– The Miami University women's basketball team never trailed in a dominant 106-45 win over Mount Vernon Nazarene Wednesday morning at Millett Hall. The game was played in front of an energetic crowd of 1,711 elementary school students for Miami's Class at the Court game. The 61-point win marked the third-most points ever scored in a game in Red and White history.

Amber Tretter scored 16 points and Julianna LaMendola added 14 to lead the RedHawks, who improved to 4-0.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The RedHawks jumped on top early, taking a 6-0 lead in the opening 90 seconds on a trio of layups. Miami would convert its first eight field goals, including three-pointers by Brooke Zartman and LaMendola, to take an 18-5 lead at the midway point of the period. Lucia Martinez Lopez then blocked a shot at one end of the floor and finished a layup at the other, with Nuria Jurjo knocking down a triple on the next trip for a 23-7 cushion at the media timeout. Shots from downtown by Tretter and Jurjo in the closing minutes of the quarter made it 30-13 at the break, with eight different RedHawks already in the scorebook.
  • Five quick points for Addison Baxter capped a 9-0 Miami run to start the second quarter for a 39-13 margin. The RedHawks made it 47-19 by the media timeout when Adela Plans Bellavista drained a shot from distance. An 8-0 spurt, sparked by three consecutive inbound steals and highlighted by a layup and a three from LaMendola, pushed the lead to 55-22 as the RedHawks headed into the locker room at halftime.
  • Baxter and Tretter each turned a steal into points to start Miami on a 6-0 run to open the second half. LaMendola came up with a block and found Baxter, who broke down the court for a layup. Dominika Ullmann, Jaya McClure, and Jade Ondineme each recorded their first field goal of the game as part of a 13-1 run for the RedHawks before MVNU made a layup to end the quarter at 80-53.
  • A steal by Zartman turned into a swish from beyond the arc for Ullmann early in the fourth quarter. Martinez Lopez put down a layup and assisted on an Ondineme basket before the Cougars went on a 4-0 run. Audrey Biggs broke the run with a layup and Plans Bellavista went on a fast break to excite the crowd with a layup that sent Miami past the 100-points mark, 101-41. Zartman made a triple and Plans Bellavista added a layup to score the final points of the game and round out a dominant 106-45 win.
