CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Riding a nine-game winning streak, the University of Miami women’s basketball team will begin its lone three-game homestand of the season Monday night against Coppin State.
No. 13/12 Miami (9-1) and Coppin State will square off at 5 p.m., at the Watsco Center as a part of the Miami Holiday Tournament. East Tennessee State and Maine meet at 3 p.m., in the opening contest.
The Hurricanes have played and defeated the Eagles each of the past three years after never previously facing them. Last season, Miami registered a 78-59 home victory on Dec. 4, 2015.
Miami is coming off its first in-state, non-conference true road game in seven years, a 69-49 win at FIU Friday night. Senior guard Adrienne Motley paced the Hurricanes with a season-high 22 points, while freshman guard/forward Sarah Mortensen had a career-best 12 points and senior guard Jessica Thomas also added 12 in the triumph.
Coppin State is 0-8 thus far in 2016-17 and is led in scoring by senior guard Keena Samuels’ 11.0 points per game. The Eagles were voted seventh in the MEAC preseason poll and are coming off a 16-16 (10-8 MEAC) season in 2015-16.
