All-Around Effort Fuels Eagles Past RedHawks on the Road

Danielle Minott scored a career-high 21 points
OXFORD, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) – An offensive outburst by the Eastern Michigan University women's basketball team fueled the Eagles (7-9, 3-2 MAC) to a Mid-American Conference road win over Miami University Saturday inside Millett Hall, Jan. 13. EMU built on a seven-point halftime lead with hot shooting in the second half to cruise to a 74-59 victory.
As a team, the Eagles won both the offensive and defensive battles. EMU shot a blistering 49.2 percent from the field, finishing the day 31-of-63 from the floor and 7-of-13 from long range. Meanwhile, Miami converted at a 39.0 percent clip, while going 6-for-20 from beyond the arc.
On the glass, the Green and White owned a 43-29 edge, including 15 offensive rebounds. The Eagles also registered 11 steals, with three players picking up at least two, and dished out 12 assists. Redshirt freshman Corrione Cardwell (Cleveland, Ohio-New Tech East) tallied a career-best and game-high five helpers in her fourth straight start.
Redshirt junior Danielle Minott (Miami, Fla.-Miami Country Day (Syracuse)) and freshman Juanita Agosto (Seattle, Wash.-Garfield) turned in career days to lead the Eagles to the win. Minott went off for a career-best 21 points on 9-of-14 shooting, including 3-of-3 from deep. The Miami, Fla. also added four steals and three assists. Agosto was exceptional off the bench, chipping in 10 points and a career-best eight rebounds. Also reaching double figures for the Eagles were senior Sasha Dailey (Toledo, Ohio-Rogers) and freshman Courtnie Lewis (Belton, Mo.-Belton) who finished with 14 and 10 points, respectively.
Strong shooting by both sides made for a high scoring opening period. Eastern Michigan was hot out of the gate, breaking out to a six-point lead before Miami found its stroke. A two-minute scoring drought for the Eagles paired with six straight buckets for the RedHawks turned the table, putting MU up, 19-13, with two minutes to go in the frame. Offense's cooled off from there, as a swipe led to a pair of free throws by Dailey to make it 22-18 Miami after 10 minutes of play.
Miami's offense slowed in the second quarter, in large part to Eastern's ability to switch up things on the defensive end. EMU held MU to just 25.0 percent shooting the period, while converting shots at a 55.6 clip itself. The Eagles outscored the RedHawks 23-12 in the quarter as Minott and Agosto chipped in six points apiece to take a 41-34 edge into the break.
Four turnovers over the first three minutes of the second half allowed Miami to cut Eastern Michigan's advantage to six, 46-40, forcing an EMU timeout. MU mustered just seven points over a seven-minute span, while EMU kept rolling, taking a 60-47 lead into the final stanza and never looking back.
Next up for Eastern Michigan is a midweek clash with in-state foe and MAC West Division rival Western Michigan University Wednesday, Jan. 17. Tipoff between the Eagles and Broncos at 7 p.m. inside the Convocation Center.
