EMU moved to 6-6 in conference play with the win
OXFORD, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University women's basketball team forced the Miami University RedHawks into 29 turnovers in route to a 70-46 Mid-American Conference cross-divisional victory, Saturday, Feb. 13, inside Millett Hall.
Junior Cha Sweeney (Toledo, Ohio-Rogers) led the way for the Eagles (15-8, 6-6 MAC), scoring a game-high 24 on 10-of-20 shooting, including four three-pointers. Graduate transfer Chanise Baldwin (Pontiac, Mich.-Martin Luther King-Providence) finished two rebounds shy of a double-double while scoring 13 points. Sophomore Sasha Dailey (Toledo, Ohio-Rogers) and senior Sera Ozelci (Ankara, Turkey-TED Ankara College) also reached double figures, adding 11 and 10 points, respectively.
Eastern put on a defensive clinic in the win, forcing Miami (9-14, 3-9 MAC) to commit 29 turnovers, the highest total the Green and White have forced a Division I team into this season. Dailey led the Eagles with five steals while junior Sheyna Deans (Mt. Clemens, Mich.-Mt. Clemens) and Janay Morton (Brooklyn Park, Minn.-Osseo) swiped four apiece.
Sweeney scored seven of the Eagles first 11 points, leading the Green and White to an early lead before Dailey provided a spark off the bench. Scoring four points and registering two steals, Dailey fueled Eastern to an 18-13 lead after one quarter of play.
Sweeney kept the Eagles rolling in the second quarter, corralling a pass from sophomore Micah Robinson (Ann Arbor, Mich.-Huron) and draining the three-ball to extend EMU's lead to eight.
Miami answered with a triple of their own before Baldwin pulled down an offensive rebound. Fighting through contact, Baldwin knocked down the put back and then completed the three-point play at the charity stripe.
Energized by a tenacious effort on defense, the Eagles pushed their lead to 15 after senior Rachel Kehoe (St. Clair, Mich.-St. Clair) tracked down an offensive rebound to give the Green and White a fresh shot clock. Working the ball around, Dailey whipped a pass to Sweeney in front of the Miami bench where the 5-foot-2 guard converted a triple to give the Eagles a 35-20 halftime lead.
Sweeney led the way for Eastern in the first half, scoring a game-high 15 points, while Dailey was not far behind. In addition to her three first half steals, Dailey chipped in 11 points.
EMU outscored Miami 25-10 in the third quarter behind a nine-point effort from Sweeney and seven points each from Baldwin and Ozelci, to take a 30-point lead into the final frame.
The RedHawks chipped away at the Eagles' lead in the fourth quarter, but EMU held off Miami for a 70-46 victory.
Eastern continues MAC play with a trek east to take on the University at Buffalo, Wednesday, Feb. 17. Tipoff is slated for 7 p.m. inside Alumni Arena.
