Miami was also able to schedule 10 games against Division I opponents that would take place throughout the season. After an initial win over Cincinnati, Miami was beaten soundly in four consecutive games. The losses were against the top-tier squads which was a trend that would continue throughout the season. Miami finished the regular season with a very good 12–3–1 record in conference, but lost all 10 games against the D-I teams. Miami's up and down year came to an end with the MCCHA tournament, with the entire championship being played in its home arena. The Redskins took advantage of the opportunity and routed Eastern Michigan before shutting out Michigan–Dearborn to claim the championship.Miami Recensio 1979 https://digital.lib.miamioh.edu/digital/collection/p17240coll2/id/20432 Miami University April 7, 2020 As Miami continued to transition into a full Division I schedule, the team knew it had a long way to go before it could compete with the rest of the big programs.
