Alex Abreu, Akron's third-leading scorer, struggled from the field but dished out six assists. His lone field goal gave the Zips its first lead of the second half, 35-34, with 7:44 left to play.
Miami (8-14, 3-7) rallied to tie the game 45-45 at the 2:32 mark but Akron outscored the RedHawks 8-1 over the next 2 minutes to seal the victory.
Allen Roberts had 11 for Miami, which shot 36 percent (8 of 22) in the second half compared to 56 percent (13 of 23) for Akron.
