Nadechka Laccen scored 11 points to lead NIU.

“Miami is a really good basketball team and they’re 9-0 for a reason,” head coach Jacey Brooks said. “They’re very talented top to bottom. We handled their aggressiveness and physicality for a majority of the first half. It was a five-point game and Miami extended the lead to 14 by halftime. It’s hard to get out of a hole against a really good team.”
