Ivy Wolf, the leading scorer for the Miami RedHawks last season, announced Saturday on Instagram she’s transferring to the Dayton Flyers.

A 5-foot-8 sophomore guard from Minster, Wolf averaged 17.0 points and 3.8 assists and started all 31 games for Miami in the 2022-23 season. As a freshman, she ranked second on the team in scoring with 12.6 points per game.

Wolf is Minster High School’s all-time leading scorer with 1,685 points. She won the Midwest Athletic Conference Player of the Year award three times. She was an All-Mid-American Conference third team selection as a sophomore. Her dad James played football and baseball at the University of Dayton.

Wolf leaves a Miami team that was 12-19 last season and joins a Dayton program that was 7-21 in coach Tamika Williams-Jeter’s first season.

Dayton added four transfers last spring after Williams-Jeter was hired: Taisiya Kozlova (Maryland); Sydney Freeman (Ball State); Arianna Smith (Indiana State); and Anyssa Jones (Ohio State).

Wolf is the first player to join Dayton from the transfer portal this year. She joins four incoming freshmen in Dayton’s 2023 recruiting class: Eve Fiala, a 6-4 center from Indiana High School in Pennsylvania; Denika Lightbourne, a 5-10 guard from Tallulah Falls High School in Georgia; Lauren Pallotta, a 5-10 guard from Massillon Jackson High School; and Riley Rismiller, a 6-4 forward from Coldwater High School.
