WILBERFORCE, Ohio -- Since Central State entered the SIAC, Beacom/Lewis Gym has been a House of Horrors for the Miles women's basketball team. But if there were ghouls or goblins looking to spook No. 23 Miles on Saturday afternoon, the team had its own Ghostbuster to help save the day.

Iemyiah Harris did not have some special effects laser, but she used an array of shots to drop a season-high 30 points against the Marauders. It was her scoring acumen that helped erased a second half deficit and lift the Lady Bears (13-1, 9-0 SIAC West)  to a 61-52 win over Central State for the team's 13th consecutive win. It also lifts Miles into a tie atop the Western Division heading into its Monday showdown with Kentucky State for the outright lead in the West.

The big surge for the Lady Bears came with 90 seconds left in the third quarter. Miles had led by as many as eight points in the first half but a cold-shooting second quarter (3-of-16 from the field) had the team trailing at halftime, a deficit that would grow as large as seven points in the third. Central State led by four when Harris drained a stepback 3-pointer to bring the Lady Bears within a single point. The Lady Marauders would answer with their own 3-ball but Harris was fouled while trying to hoist a desperation 3-ball near half court with less than a second remaining in the third. She would knock down all three free throws and Miles would trail just 43-42 going into the final period.

As the fourth quarter began, Harris went into her bag and started handing out buckets as if she were Santa giving holiday gifts. She started by dropping a contested jumper from the left of the lane to give Miles the lead. On the next possession, she came off a screen to the right and made it rain with a high-arching 3-ball. On the following trip down the floor, she took four dribbles across half court and pulled up with a hand in her face - as well as over 6-foot-1 teammate Madison Lee - and dropped another triple. All told, Harris scored 14 consecutive points in 2:30 on the game clock. By the time CSU called timeout to get its bearings, the Lady Bears had a 50-43 lead a minute into the fourth.

Asha Shareef would score on Miles' ensuing possession to break Harris' run. But Shareef grabbed an offensive rebound on a Harris miss, fed it right back to her, then watched Mighty Myiah - who also had seven rebounds, five assists and two steals - drain another 3-ball to give the Lady Bears a 55-44 lead just inside of six minutes to go. It was the biggest lead for either team in the game and CSU never got closer than seven points the rest of the way.

Camryn Nadir had 12 points and Katarina Maros had six points and 10 rebounds for Central State, which missed 11 of its 13 shots from the field in the fourth quarter and shot less than 30 percent from the field during the entire game.  Shareef (11 points, nine rebounds, two blocks in 22 minutes) came off the bench to enjoy her best effort of the season for Miles, which also got solid performances from Lee (seven points, seven rebounds), India Brown (seven points, three rebounds in 11 minutes) and Imani Williams ( season-high 12 rebounds).
