Miami rallies past Buffalo

BUFFALO, N.Y. – On Halloween night, the Miami RedHawks came from behind to win 22-25, 25-15, 16-25, 25-20, 17-15 over the host Bulls. With its third consecutive victory, Miami improves to 14-10 overall and 9-3 in the Mid-American Conference. The Bulls are 15-11 overall and 5-7 in the MAC.

Senior setter Andrea Atteberry led the way with a triple-double. She tied her career-high with 10 kills, to go along with 52 assists and 12 digs.

Hallie Hanks was Miami’s team leader in kills with 16. Michele Metzler was right behind her with 15. Maria Leahy had a double-double with 13 kills and 20 digs, and Lisa Treadway had 18 digs.

The RedHawks return home at 7 p.m. Thursday against Bowling Green at Miami University’s Millett Hall.

RedHawks repeat as MAC cross country champions

ATHENS, Ohio – The Miami University women’s cross country team captured its second consecutive league crown Saturday at Ohio University. Two RedHawks earned First-Team All-MAC honors while four landed on the second team, despite a muddy and sloppy course.

Seniors Amanda Mirochna and Laura Neufarth, who was the 2007 individual MAC champion, garnered First-Team All-MAC accolades by placing third and fifth, respectively. Mirochna earned first-team honors for the second straight season in a time of 22:32.4, finishing three places better than a year ago, while Neufarth clocked in two seconds later and was named All-MAC for the third straight year.

Miami scored 44 points, finishing 19 points ahead of second-place Toledo, who had just beaten the RedHawks at Pre-Nationals two weeks ago.

The RedHawks will next compete Saturday, Nov. 14 in Bloomington, Ind. at the Great Lakes Regional Championship, where Miami will look to qualify for the NCAA Championship.
