They were a part of the Miami team that went to the Elite 8, but then left the school.

Now, they return to a squad that looks different.

Head coach Tricia Cullop is in her first season, replacing Katie Meier.

Hanna said, “I think for me it was a slower process than Haley. Just taking time away from basketball I needed that after the last season I played here. My timing was different, I knew I didn’t want to give it up. I had one more season left. I’m just glad to be back.”

Haley said, “I knew when I decided not to take my fifth year, I regretted it instantly. I reopened my recruitment, I was practicing and working on my craft.. I’m happy to be back here. I’m happy to be Cane and I’m happy to get to work this season.”
