ROCHESTER, Mich. - The Golden Grizzlies prepare for another week of non-conference action as they hit the road to take on Michigan State and Miami (Ohio).

Oakland has featured an explosive offense through three games this season, scoring more than 85 points per game while shooting 50.3% from the field and nearly 36% from three.

Through the first week of play, Oakland ranks second in the Horizon League in both scoring offense and scoring defense, holding opponents to just 56.3 points per game.

The Golden Grizzlies have seen standout performances from league leader in points per game Makenzie Luehring (19.3 ppg), the league's top two shot blockers in Milagros Morell (2.0 bpg) and Layla Gold (1.7 bpg), and Cece Bonner, who ranks third in assists per game (4.7 apg).

Oakland's dynamic two-way play has been a major catalyst for its early-season success, and the Golden Grizzlies look to keep that momentum rolling.

Oakland is looking for its first win over Michigan State in program history as the Golden Grizzlies head into Breslin Center for another Big Ten matchup.

The Spartans enter the midweek matchup with an unblemished 2-0 record, defeating Valparaiso and Toledo by double digits.

Scoring exactly 85 points per game, Michigan State has won by an average of 31 points through its first two contests, highlighted by a 98-44 victory over Valparaiso in the season opener.

The MSU offense has relied on volume rather than efficiency, shooting 43.8% from the field and just 26.7% from three. Junior guard Kennedy Blair leads the Spartan offense with 20.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game. In the win over Toledo, she delivered 28 points, four assists and 11 rebounds.

Defense has been the calling card of the Spartans through two games, as they've held opponents to 54.0 points per game while limiting them to 33.1% shooting from the field and 18.8% from three.

In last year's meeting, Layla Gold provided the biggest boost for the Golden Grizzlies, posting 13 points on 3-for-6 shooting from three and adding six rebounds.

The week closes with some MACtion as Oakland takes on the undefeated RedHawks. Miami (Ohio) enters the matchup with a 3-0 record, earning a pair of 20-plus-point victories over Bellarmine and Southeast Missouri State, along with a close home win over James Madison.

Miami (Ohio) has forced opponents into a whopping 26.7 turnovers per game, converting those opportunities into 22.0 points per game. The RedHawks have been efficient in capitalizing on those opportunities, shooting 44.9% from the field and 36.4% from three.

However, Miami (Ohio) also commits 18 turnovers per game, which could prove costly against an Oakland team that thrives on creating opportunities and running in transition.

Julianna Lamendola (15.3 ppg) leads a group of three RedHawks averaging double figures, followed by Addison Baxter (13.7 ppg) and Brooke Zartman (12.0 ppg). All three are not only high-volume scorers but efficient ones as well, shooting above 48% from the field. Lamendola is the team's do-it-all player, also averaging 5.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.7 steals per game.

Meetings between the Golden Grizzlies and RedHawks have been tightly contested, with the last two matchups both decided by fewer than five points. Last season, Oakland earned an 80-75 victory. Layla Gold recorded a huge double-double with 21 points and 13 rebounds, adding four assists and three steals. Angie Smith scored 16 points on an efficient 6-for-8 shooting, while Lianna Baxter tallied 11 points and nine rebounds.

Week two of the season is shaping up to be another entertaining and highly competitive stretch for Oakland as the Golden Grizzlies continue to build momentum and strengthen their résumé.
