CLEVELAND -- It was one of the Falcons' best offensive performances to date, and BG senior Tara Breske will be the first to admit it.
"It was one of the top ones," Breske said.
The BG women's basketball team clicked on all cylinders in their lopsided 91-58 win against Miami in the Mid-American Conference Quarterfinal at Quicken Loans Arena Wednesday night, advancing to the semifinal game against Akron on Friday at 2:30 p.m.
The Falcons shot 50 percent (36-for-72) from the field and no starter played more than 27 minutes - including Breske and Jen Uhl.
In just 24 minutes of work, Breske dominated the paint for 20 points and six rebounds to help the No.1 seed BG take down No. 8 Miami.
Breske, who was named player of the game, finished 9-of-15 from the field and contributed to a BG offense that outscored Miami 42-24 in the paint.
Uhl, who played 20 minutes, came two rebounds shy of a double-double with 11 points and eight rebounds.
"Without question, that is our best post-production as a unit all year," BG coach Curt Miller said.
Both Breske and Uhl, however, got their teammates involved as well. The two post players combined to dish out seven assists as the Falcons were just as hot from the perimeter as they were inside.

BG benefited from its inside-out style of basketball as they shot a
whopping 65 percent (13-for-20) from 3-point-range.
"[Breske and Uhl] really set the tone," Miller said.
Playing inside-out is something the Falcons have been trying to perfect all season, and with it being the MAC Tournament, the team realizes they have to make the most of their play inside the paint.
"It's been a challenge all year to have better post production," Breske said. "It's MAC Tournament time. It's the time of year where you need to bring everything together."
