HURRICANES

As the first half ended, the Hurricanes displayed their ability to keep pace with a top-10 team. DePaul transfer guard Charlie Moore added seven points in the first half behind McGusty’s 10. “The second half, we just couldn’t do anything right. Alabama guard Keon Ellis scored 17 points in the second to spark the Crimson Tide’s 63-point half, as the Hurricanes allowed the most points to a Power Five opponent since Jan. 18, 2017, a 17-point loss to Wake Forest. Alabama scored 25 points off 13 Miami turnovers, also capitalizing on 22 assists to the Hurricanes’ six.

But even an 11-1 run in the final minutes didn’t equal a Hurricanes win on Saturday in The Bahamas. “There was never a point where we surrendered,” Miami head coach Katie Meier said. Marshall, meanwhile, scored the final 11 points for the Hurricanes (4-2), drilling back-to-back threes to cut the Hoosiers’ lead to three with under 1:30 remaining. She’s playing the point guard and she’s playing the four and she’s doing a heck of a job.”Junior forward Mackenzie Holmes drew a foul with seven seconds left and hit 1-of-2 free throws for the contest’s final point, ending the Hurricanes’ final push. The Hoosiers outrebounded the Hurricanes 43-28, while holding senior guard Karla Erjavec to five points in 32 minutes.

At the 8:37 minutes mark of the first quarter, Miami trailed Duke after a 94-yard kickoff return by Blue Devils sophomore Jaylen Stinson. After, it was all Miami, out-gaining Duke by over 400 yards, and closing its regular season with a 47-10 win at Wallace Wade Stadium in Durham, North Carolina. “Duke came out in a totally different defense that we went through in film,” Hurricanes head coach Manny Diaz said. The Hurricanes closed their regular season winning five of their final six games, to seal a 7-5 record on the season. The Hurricanes will finish their season with a bowl game, the question now is when and where.

The Hurricanes outscored North Texas 41-23 after halftime behind 14 second-half points from third-year sophomore guard Isaiah Wong. We did a fantastic job in the second half holding them to 23 points after giving them 40 in the first half. Guard Tylor Perry and forward Thomas Bell then drilled back-to-back 3-point field goals to alleviate the Mean Green scoring drought, putting North Texas back ahead by two. North Texas nailed nine 3-pointers in the first half and out-rebounded Miami 14-7. Without forcing 12 North Texas turnovers, the Hurricanes may have not garnered their first win of the multi-day event.

Miami was unable to sustain its undefeated start to the regular season, losing 62-47 to the Washington State Cougars in their first matchup of the Baha Mar Hoops Pink Flamingo Championship on Thursday. Miami (4-1) rallied for 16 points in the second period while keeping Washington State (4-0) to seven. “Washington State made some great adjustments at halftime and really got after it and we couldn’t overcome that gap.”After an even halftime score of 25, the Cougars exploded for 25 in the third. Washington State center Bella Murekatete fueled the charge on 4-for-6 shooting for 12 points, following a scoreless first half. Outrebounded 39-27, UM scored 22 points in the entire second half.

Even with an undefeated start to a new season, Miami’s women’s basketball team has its sights set on rising to a new challenge over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. The four-game homestand — marking the beginning of the 50th season of women’s basketball at the University of Miami — ended with the Hurricanes (4-0) ranking 20th nationally in scoring defense (48.8 points per game). Miami heads to Nassau, Bahamas, for a showdown against Washington State (3-0) on Thursday in the Baha Mar Pink Flamingo Championship. “That defensive effort was required and was very necessary,” Miami head coach Katie Meier said on Thursday. “There’s going to be a night, and it’s all going to come together and we’re going to be a real dangerous team,” Meier said.

On the latest episode of the Miami Sports Pod, Local 10 Sports Anchors Will Manso and Clay Ferraro discuss the Miami Dolphins and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa making it three straight wins after Sunday's victory over the New York Jets.

Huddle up! Here’s a look back at this weekend on the gridiron, with three key takeaways from the state’s football scene.

Sixth-year senior guard Charlie Moore came to Miami determined to make an immediate impact. “He really quarterbacked the team,” Miami head coach Jim Larrañaga said. “He scored the ball, he passed the ball and really got everybody involved.”Larrañaga said he’d hoped Moore’s breakout outing was near. The Hurricanes’ 11th-year head coach sent Moore footage of his 3-point shooting proficiency at DePaul last season, a 34.6% clip, earlier in the week. The Hurricanes’ reserves, however, supported Moore, Wong and McGusty, adding 24 points over Florida A&M’s seven.

The win ensured Miami (6-5, 4-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) will be bowl-eligible.

The loss now puts the Hurricanes at a 5-5 overall record and out of contention for an Atlantic Coast Conference championship game. Like Miami (5-5, 3-3 ACC), Virginia Tech has had a tumultuous season, beating Georgia Tech and North Carolina, but losing to Pitt. As a result, former Hokie and All-American J.C. Price is acting as interim head coach and will be on the sideline as they face Miami head coach Manny Diaz and his Hurricanes. “There’s a mission and the mission this week is to beat Virginia Tech. Beating Virginia Tech is crucial if Miami hopes to enter bowl game consideration.

As mayor of New Orleans, Mitch Landrieu oversaw billions of dollars in infrastructure repairs and improvements when he took over a lagging recovery from Hurricane Katrina in 2010.

Seven fourth-quarter points were all the Hurricanes needed to cruise to a double-digit victory at the Watsco Center on Thursday. The Florida Atlantic Owls (2-1) committed a game-defining 28 turnovers on the night, which turned into 26 points off turnovers for Miami. Dwyer said of her eight steal game that “It was a great time and a great experience. I was ready to play defense, but I did not expect that.”“I think she’s the story of the game. The Hurricanes took an eight-point lead into halftime and extended it to 15 throughout a balanced third quarter which was opened by a Kelsey Marshall jumper.

Rita Pleskevich was the Owls’ leading scorer with 12 points.

After a late Florida Atlantic run tied the game at 66, guard Isaiah Wong made a contested lay-up with 0.7 seconds remaining to give the Hurricanes a 68-66 victory. “I told everybody to just get out of [Wong’s] way and Isaiah just go ahead and score,” Miami head coach Jim Larrañaga said. “[Wong] is a very hard guy to keep from scoring,” Larrañaga said. You got to keep executing the game plan.”In the second half, Florida Atlantic (1-2) dominated the Hurricanes, outscoring them 46-34 in the last 20 minutes. The Owls’ defense suffocated Miami, as they shot 36% from the field and 20% from beyond the 3-point line, both of which are season-lows.

Tua Tagovailoa made a good impression in his first extensive action since the trade deadline passed and speculation about his future intensified.

As the first quarter opened, it seemed as if Miami was in for another close home contest. Barring a 28% shooting mark in the first half and 20 total turnovers, the Hurricanes cruised past Stetson 54-39 Sunday. Miami made six of 12 shots while out-rebounding Stetson 11-5 after its surges in the third. Having entered the contest averaging 63.5 points per game, the Hurricanes tallied 19 points off Stetson’s 21 turnovers. Miami shot 4-of-20 from 3-point territory and 63% at the foul line, scoring 26 points in the paint.

“I think we did a good job being scrappy and chipping away at that score,” Miami forward Sam Waardenburg said. Sixth year redshirt senior guard Kameron McGusty led Miami in scoring with 28 points, tying a career high. “We missed some, what I consider, wide-open threes from guys who could really shoot the three,” Miami head coach Jim Larrañaga said. Joseph, a 6-foot-1 lefty from Arlington, Massachusetts, had a strong first appearance, scoring three points and playing tough defense off the Canes’ bench. Tipoff is scheduled for 6 p.m.“We really need to learn to play under the circumstances we’re dealing with,” Larrañaga said.

The Hurricanes had won four straight matchups against their rivals before Saturday’s loss.

Mykea Gray scored 12 points and four assists, Kelsey Marshall added 11 points and three triples as the Hurricanes battled through committing 28 turnovers on their way to a 55-43 win at home against Bethune Cookman on Friday. However, the Wildcats responded, putting together a 16-0 run of their own amidst a five-minute scoring drought for the Hurricanes. The Hurricanes were able to halt the run after a basket down low from Maeva Djaldi-Tabdi, who finished with four points. Bethune Cookman mounted its 16-0 run on the back of forward Tania White, who had seven points and two steals. These are lessons that we will take with us, focusing on that so therefore it won’t happen again.”Despite the double digit win, Meier was clearly upset following the win.

The Canes are well aware that if they keep playing well they could earn themselves a trip to Charlotte to play in the ACC championship game. But what exactly would it take for the Hurricanes to compete for the ACC title game? Miami sits in third place as of now in the Coastal division with a record of 3-2, trailing only Virginia (6-3, 4-2 ACC) and Pitt (7-2, 4-1 ACC). 9 Notre Dame on Nov. 13, and in-state rival Virginia Tech on Nov. 27. However, arguably the most crucial game of the Hurricanes’ remaining schedule is lined up just a few days away.

In a short two-game road trip last weekend versus Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) opponents, Miami fell to No. 14 Georgia Tech (21-3, 12-2 ACC) by a 3-1 decision and swept the Clemson Tigers (11-14, 3-11 ACC) for their 15th sweep of the season. The loss to Georgia Tech saw Miami face an early 2-0 set deficit after dropping the opening two sets by scores of 25-18 and 25-22. In the opener, Georgia Tech powerfully and efficiently, striking down 16 kills and only committing two errors for a hitting percentage of .538. While Miami pushed to narrow the score and brought the game within five four times, Georgia Tech was able to claim a 25-19 victory.

Guard Kameron McGusty produced 20 points, 10 rebounds and four assists, forward Anthony Walker added 14 points and three blocks off the bench, and Miami beat Canisius, 77-67, on Tuesday night in its season opener. Walker drove down the lane for a 3-point play and capped off the scoring threat on a baseline feed from forward Sam Waardenburg. Canisius has a real veteran team,” Miami head coach Jim Larrañaga said. Sixth-year redshirt senior Rodney Miller, Jr., opened with six quick points, yet Miami (1-0) veered toward guard-based scoring as the evening progressed. “We’ve got to get as much inside scoring as we can,” McGusty said.

For most of the night, it appeared that the Hurricanes were going to make their historical opener relatively stress-free. Miami head coach Katie Meier, who entered the game with 303 wins through 16 full seasons at Miami, needed just one more win to surpass former women’s head coach Ferne Labati and become the winningest head coach in the history of Hurricanes basketball (men’s or women’s). Visiting Jackson State (0-1), led by star duo Ameshya Williams and Dayzsha Rogan, won the second and third quarters by three and two points, respectively. The Tigers nonetheless mounted a 12-0 run, led by Williams, to tie the game near the two-minute mark. Ja’Leah Williams added 3 points, while Dwyer contributed five – including a four point play late in the first quarter.

The point guard position is arguably the most important position in basketball. For the men’s basketball team last season, the point guard position was a revolving door, lacking continuity and a steadying presence. Off-ball guards, such as Isaiah Wong and Harlond Beverly, were forced to become the de facto point guards on the team. “Charlie is a playmaking point guard who has the ability to score, as well as create for his teammates,” Larrañaga said. He was ranked as the 80th best prospect in the country by ESPN and the 14th best point guard.

The women’s swimming & diving team traveled to the Keating Aquatics Center in Cincinnati prepared to compete against Louisville and Notre Dame Friday, but instead faced Cincinnati. The Hurricanes (2-0) defeated Cincinnati, 185-112, on just 48 hours’ notice. COVID-19 precautions kept the meet’s original three teams from competing, so UM was forced to face an alternate opponent. Hinton also won the 50-yard freestyle, while junior Aino Otava garnered first place in 200-yard butterfly in 2:04.05. The Hurricanes return to Coral Gables to host the all-day Miami Invite at the Norman Whitten Pool from Nov. 18 to Nov. 20.

In the past few years, Miami’s men’s and women’s basketball programs demonstrated promise to compete in the very talented Atlantic Coast Conference, but for both teams, the hunt for a return to the NCAA tournament still looms. The Hurricanes return veteran leadership and introduce talent in the form of high school recruits and NCAA transfer portal products. “I think there’s going to be a newness to the team, it’s going to be very odd,” Miami women’s basketball head coach Katie Meier said. On the men’s side, the team looks to reach its first NCAA Tournament since 2018, with a reason to believe in achieving that goal. Both are determined to guide the Hurricanes out of the bottom of the conference to the NCAA Tournament stage.

Miami baseball released its full 2022 season schedule on Monday, revealing four non-conference home series, six different midweek opponents, and 10 conference series spanning from February to late May. The Hurricanes will play six different teams in midweek games this season, including FAU, Florida International, Central Florida, Florida Gulf Coast, Stetson, and Bethune-Cookman. Virginia Tech flamed out after a hot start to the 2021 season, but lost four players to the MLB Draft, including three pitchers. With the Hurricanes’ schedule turning into a grind in May, these are two series UM need to win, if not sweep. So far, the ACC schedule has been pretty favorable for Miami, but May proves to be the biggest test.

As the Hurricanes continue to struggle with health, another team captain is out for the season. Miami head coach Manny Diaz announced Monday afternoon that redshirt junior safety Bubba Bolden, who leads the Hurricanes with 42 tackles on the season, will miss the rest of the season due to a shoulder injury sustained in Miami’s loss at home against Virginia on Sept. 30. Prior to returning to Miami for his fifth season of college football, Bolden was considered a Day 2 pick in the National Football League (NFL) Draft. The Hurricanes’ safety room is loaded with young talent and it is likely that Diaz opts to start two freshmen, James Williams and Kamren Kinchens, at the position this week. 18 North Carolina State Wolfpack on Saturday, the Hurricanes (3-4, 1-2 ACC) will now go on the road to face No.

Despite going the distance against Wake Forest (11-10, 2-8 ACC), Miami (17-3, 8-2 ACC) was able to pull off a reverse sweep Friday night after dropping the first two sets of the match. However, Wake Forest remained consistent on their offensive end of the floor, topping their opening set hitting percentage of .240 with a .243 hitting percentage in the second. With a .424 hitting percentage on 17 kills and three errors, the Hurricanes were able to escape a sweep with a 25-21 victory. Wake Forest landed nine kills as well, but four errors proved crucial in the eventual 15-9 win for the Hurricanes. Sunday’s matchup against Virginia Tech (9-13, 0-10 ACC) proved to be much less of an uphill battle than was the five-set marathon versus Wake Forest.

Over the years, the University of Miami has produced talented football players looking to take their careers to new heights in the National Football League (NFL) and represent the Hurricanes in the sport’s highest level. Many former Canes have had standout performances throughout the first half of the 2021-2022 NFL season and have proved to be impact players. Through the Bills’ first six games, he compiled 17 solo tackles, three sacks, and an interception and has earned himself a starting spot on Buffalo’s defensive line. Jaelan Phillips: Linebacker, Miami DolphinsPhillips was another first-round draft pick from the Hurricanes, selected 18th overall by the Miami Dolphins. In the Dolphins’ Week Five match-up against the reigning champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Phillips had four tackles and a sack against legendary quarterbackTom Brady.

Charleston Rambo finished with nine catches for 127 yards and Will Mallory had a touchdown grab for the Hurricanes.

18 North Carolina State (5-1, 2-0 ACC). “[Miami] put up 44 points last year on [North Carolina State],” Van Dyke said. He struggled last weekend against North Carolina, throwing three interceptions and completing less than 50 percent of his passes. In contrast to Van Dyke, North Carolina State quarterback Devin Leary will be making his 15th career start. “[North Carolina State’s] victory versus Clemson speaks for itself,” Diaz said.

Coming off a 1-0 home loss against Clemson on Monday, Miami head coach Sarah Barnes and the Hurricanes felt encouraged by their performance, despite the loss. Miami were optimistic heading into its Thursday matchup on the road at Virginia Tech. That sense of optimism died quickly, as the Virginia Tech Hokies (9-5-2, 3-3-2 Atlantic Coastal Conference) scored early and often in a 5-0 win over the Hurricanes (4-10, 1-7 ACC). Virginia Tech midfielder Emily Gray, who now stands tied for sixth in all-time goals in Virginia Tech history, opened up scoring in the ninth minute, and added her second in the 36th minute. Virginia Tech doubled UM in shots, 14-7, and registered 13 corner kicks compared to the Canes’ two.

Sophomore guard Isaiah Wong was selected to the Preseason All-ACC first team, as announced live on the ACC Network Tuesday. Wong paced the Hurricanes last season with 17.1 points per game, while adding averages of 4.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game. The third-year sophomore finished fifth in preseason voting with 37 points, earning 12 more points than Georgia Tech guard Michael Devoe, who was the first selection on the Second Team. Joining Boeheim and Wong on the first team is Virginia Tech’s Keve Aluma, Duke’s Paolo Banchero and North Carolina’s Armando Bacot. This is the second consecutive season a Miami guard received first team honors in the preseason, and the fourth time in five years a Hurricane has garnered a Preseason All-ACC selection.

Jumping through the air, booting balls far downfield and diving left and right, the 6-foot-1 junior put on a clinic Saturday night, posting seven saves on eight Clemson shots. I think she has been outstanding all season long.”Dagenais kept her team in the match with seven saves. The Tigers did not allow a single shot on goal while racking up seven, which Dagenais continued to retrieve. UM had three corner opportunities and a shot on goal, all of which couldn’t find their way in the net. Looking ahead, UM must improve on finishing matches, having suffered its fifth shutout of the season at the expense of Clemson.

With the game tied at 16-16, the Canes went on a 4-0 run led by two aces from Peyman Yardimci. In the second set, the Hurricanes put forth their best offensive display of the night, posting a .300 hitting percentage and logging 14 kills. In the third and fourth sets, the Canes struggled to find an offensive rhythm and failed to reach double-figures in kills in both sets. Pitt posted hitting percentages of .265 and .231 in sets three and four, winning by scores of 25-16 and 25-18. With their toughest opponents of the season behind them, the Canes look to return to their winning ways against Virginia (8-9, 1-6 ACC) on Sunday.

Miami women’s soccer again proved its ability to battle through late-match situations in the Atlantic Coast Conference Thursday in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. We played pretty well last week but I thought we played a little bit better this week. Although Miami (4-7, 1-4 ACC) struggled to fire shots in the first half, ten were totaled after the intermission. Slicing past the Hurricanes’ back two defenders from Wake Forest territory, forward Jenna Menta captured the left edge of the net. The Hurricanes look to finish a three-game road trip with a victory against reigning ACC regular season champion Florida State at noon Sunday at the Seminole Soccer Complex in Tallahassee, Fl.

In one of the most highly anticipated matches of the season, the Hurricanes dominated cross-state rival Florida State at the Knight Sports Complex Wednesday night. The Seminoles and the Hurricanes exchanged points back and forth early, but a 10-3 run in the first set by Florida State forced Miami into a 15-8 deficit. FSU outside hitter Audrey Koenig then closed the match with a kill and a 27-25 victory for Florida State. In the match finale, Miami overpowered Florida State in a decisive 25-11 set win, posting its second-best hitting percentage of the match with a .325 clip and forcing another eight errors from Florida State’s offense. Miami also continues to excel at defending the ball at the net, combining for 12.5 blocks whereas Florida State only tallied two.

Head coach Manny Diaz is now feeling the pressure from Miami fans and former players as a result of the team’s recent struggles. Instead, Diaz was named the 25th head coach of the Hurricanes mere hours after Richt’s retirement. The four-million-dollar buyout was much lower than that of another popular candidate, Oregon head coach Mario Cristobal, which was projected at around ten million dollars. A more successful promotion from assistant to first-time head coach changed the trajectory of one of Miami’s biggest rivals in the Atlantic Coast Conference, Clemson. In fact, since former wide-receivers coach Dabo Swinney was promoted to head coach in 2008, Clemson has won two national championships.

Hurricane Sam has strengthened again to a powerful Category 4 storm.

Ninth-year Miami volleyball coach Jose “Keno” Gandara knew that if his team’s sharp mentality returned, almost everything would work out well. 5 Louisville on Friday, Miami (10-2, 1-1 ACC) responded in suit by sweeping the Notre Dame Fighting Irish (3-8, 0-1 ACC) in three sets at the Purcell Pavilion in South Bend, Indiana. Riding the momentum from set one, Miami dominated the second set en route to a 25-15 win in a sloppy set for Notre Dame, which committed seven of the 10 total errors in the frame. The win marked Miami’s ninth sweep this season, with the lone exception coming in a Sept. 3 3-1 win at USF. It was also the first win for the Hurricanes at Notre Dame since Sept. 29, 2017, when the Canes beat the Irish 3-1.

Miami (2-2) dominated Central Connecticut State (1-3) en route to a 69-0 win, but the score was only part of the story, as underclassmen dictated Saturday’s offense. “These games matter because they help you with your developmental guys,” Miami head coach Manny Diaz said. I’m prepared, so I’m ready.”As Miami averaged 10.6 yards per play for 739 total yards, Van Dyke and Garcia sustained their sharp approach in a balanced Miami passing and rushing attack for a 49-0 halftime lead. In last week’s loss, Miami missed 30 tackles yet exhibited few tackling shortages versus Central Connecticut State defense with a more physical, energetic and disciplined approach. Based off the evidence of what you saw today, it feels like both guys are guys we feel good about,” Diaz said on King.

FGCU (7-4) started the season off hot, winning their first six matches, before cooling down and losing four of their last five. The Canes contributed to the Eagles’ recent struggles Friday afternoon, jumping out to a quick 6-1 lead in the first set. FGCU fought back, however, and went on a 6-1 run of their own to tie it up 7-7. The Canes racked up 16 kills with an astounding .481 hitting percentage and 16 kills in 27 attempts, with three errors. FGCU had nine kills and posted an improved hitting percentage in the second set, but their seven errors on the set was their demise late.

Huddle up! Here’s a look back at this weekend on the gridiron, with three key takeaways from the state’s football scene.

Scoring two goals in the span of 12 minutes, Miami appeared to have full command. From the 46th minute onward, the Hurricanes (3-4, 0-1 ACC) allowed the Cardinals (5-1-1, 1-0 ACC) to gradually mold their comeback, as Louisville layered on three second-half goals. Louisville midfielder Hayley Howard ignited the spark on goal off a corner kick, slicing Miami’s advantage in half, 2-1. Junior goalkeeper Melissa Dagenais was unable to prevent Hernandez’ sole shot on goal from slipping past the goal line and collecting her season-high eighth save. With each team still tied at two goals apiece after ten extra minutes, the Cardinals again exploited the Hurricanes’ physicality near the Miami penalty area.

On two separate occasions, Hurricanes graduate quarterback D’Eriq King found Oklahoma transfer wide receiver Charleston Rambo in the end zone. But Rambo’s standout performance was one of the only positive takeaways from Miami’s 38-17 loss to unranked Michigan State. But a week after a game-winning field goal lifted the Hurricanes to a narrow victory, the Michigan State Spartans delivered multiple daggers late at Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday. “I have to give credit to Michigan State. Defense on third downs kept the Hurricanes in the game, though keeping the Spartans behind the line of scrimmage didn’t last long.

New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton says the club has decided to continue practicing at TCU next week in preparation for their Week 3 game at New England before returning to their New Orleans-area headquarters in Week 4.

Nine months had elapsed without Miami football, but the sweeping Hard Rock Stadium lights shined in full luminance for a Hurricanes home game. A good chunk of those brave enough to wear masks and physically distance in the echo-filled stadium left at halftime. They had just witnessed the most mortifying performance — a 62-26 catastrophe at the hands of North Carolina— in recent Miami football history. Watching Hurricanes football live was a first for so many individuals who had missed out for a combined six months. If three hours of skimp Hurricanes football and a cat saved by an American flag wasn’t enough of a bizarre welcoming back, one would have a tough time fathoming otherwise.

U.S. industrial production slowed to a 0.4% gain in August as shutdowns of petroleum refineries and petrochemical plants caused by Hurricane Ida curbed manufacturing activity.

Bands of heavy rain have been pummeling parts of the Alabama Gulf Coast and the Florida Panhandle.

Tropical Storm Nicholas has weakened to a tropical depression as it slowed to a crawl over southeastern Texas and southwestern Louisiana as its heavy rains continued to drench the area, maintaining a flood threat.

The cat's current whereabouts remain a mystery after it ran away from its saviors.

Miami has lost running back Don Chaney Jr. for the remainder of the season with a knee injury. Linebacker Keontra Smith will also miss several weeks with a leg injury.

The National Hurricane Center in Miami says Nicholas has strengthened to a Category 1 hurricane ahead of its expected landfall in Texas.

Normal service resumed for Miami volleyball to open up the Bobcat Invitational, sweeping host Texas State by final set scores of 25-18, 25-22 and 25-22 at the Strahan Arena in San Marcos, Texas. Texas State (2-7) did their best to keep up, especially late, but Jose “Keno” Gandara’s team continued to show perfection on the court. Texas State committed 16 errors in the match. Half of which came in the second set, allowing the Canes to set a six-point lead halfway through the set. Texas State went on a five-point run in the middle of the second set to cut Miami’s lead to just one, but Miami was able to hold on to win the set 25-22.

Craig Croomer and his wife Kimberly each held two corners of the American flag to help break the cat’s fall, saving its life on the 20th anniversary of 9/11.

Louisiana students were just getting back to class after a year and a half of COVID-19 disruptions when Hurricane Ida struck.

Cam’Ron Harris rushed for 91 yards and a touchdown for Miami.

After losing its season opener to Alabama 44-13, the Hurricanes need to do everything they can to erase the game from memory. The Hurricanes have a new task on hand – take care of Appalachian State – arguably one of the top teams in the Sun Belt Conference. One of the most important things the offense needs to do in order to beat Appalachian State is move the chains. Although current graduate quarterback Chase Brice turns the ball over quite a bit, the Mountaineers run the ball hard. Miami has a poised defensive line that had 10 tackles for loss, but only produced one sack against Alabama.

New Orleans is showing signs of making a comeback nearly two weeks after Hurricane Ida blasted coastal Louisiana.

After winning 3-1 on Friday, the Hurricanes won a competitive, back-and-forth match versus the USF Bulls, winning all three sets 25-15, 25-23 and 25-23. With the win, Miami improved to a 5-0 record to start the season, the program’s best start since the Hurricanes went 6-0 in 2017. Despite Miami escaping with a win, the second set began with a 7-0 run for the Bulls, but Miami found itself back in the game after a 15-8 run. Following the trend of the second set, the match finale was also fought till the end. USF went on a torrid 11-5 run to start the third set, but the Bulls could not hold Miami from coming back.

Miami entered the first week of a new season with a fresh but tall task of upsetting reigning national champion Alabama. “College football is famous for overreactions after Week 1,” Miami head coach Manny Diaz said. And just two days later, Miami has been forced to adopt a shared mentality: move on. No team wants to leave everything on the turf and still lose control over the season-opening outcome, especially against a team that Miami hasn’t defeated since the 1990 Sugar Bowl. But if there’s one moment in any recent Hurricanes season to forget about the past, that could not be more evident now.
