Big second half lifts CMU women's basketball over Miami

Sophomore guard Amani Corley grabs a rebound during the game against Miami of Ohio at McGuirk Arena, Saturday, Jan. 30, 2016.

After Leah Purvis tallied 14 first-quarter points and the Miami Redhawks carried a 17-15 lead after the first ten minutes, the ball started falling through the hoop for the Central Michigan women's basketball team.

The Redhawks (8-11, 2-6 MAC) had won just one of their last five games heading into Saturday’s match at McGuirk Arena. The Chippewas rolled in on a three-game winning streak and a 72-58 thumping of the Redhawks in Oxford 10 days earlier in their memories.
