2 teams with identical conference records. Tied for first in the MAC. This game may very well decide the #1 seed in the MAC tournament. Miami is taking on Ball State at Millett at 1 pm on Saturday. Come support the WBB team!
Miami has four players averaging double-digits, led by Amber Tretter (14.7 ppg.). She is joined by Amber Scalia (14.1 ppg.), Ilse de Vries (13.0 ppg.), and Tamar Singer (10.3 ppg.). Tretter has led the team in scoring seven times, while de Vries and Scalia have done it six times apiece. Singer, who is fourth in the nation in assists (7.4), has led Miami in scoring five times. Tamar Singer is seven assists shy of 200 for the season and would become the 22nd player in MAC history to accomplish that feat. Amber Scalia is sitting at 196 career three-pointers, four away from 200.
Since falling to the RedHawks back on Jan. 24, 72-52 at Ball State,
the Cardinals have responded with seven-straight wins and sit atop
the MAC standings are at 22-5 overall and 13-1 in conference play. Bree Salenbien leads the team in scoring (15.9 ppg.) and is second in rebounding (7.4 rpg.).
27-24 Miami at the half fueled by 2 late threes by Singer and Scalia and a layup by Jurjo. Far from clean offensive half by Miami but solid D. Other than 6’5 Towers rest of BSU held in check. BSU coach bitching up a storm to the refs at halftime.
Scalia has 11. Singer has 9 but 0 assists. Rare to see that from Singer at half-0 assists. I expect that to change second half. Tretter 0 points at half. Also rare. Also expect that to change second half.
