HURRICANES

An Atlantic hurricane season with 14 named storms has ended, leaving residents in the Florida Keys to celebrate even as others around Florida and Puerto Rico continue to deal with the damage caused by Hurricanes Ian, Nicole and Fiona.

Miami women’s basketball (6-2) lost the final stage of the Miami Thanksgiving tournament at the Watsco Center to the Columbia University Lions (5-2), 78-71. It’s the first time this season that the ‘Canes have lost at the Watsco Center, going 5-0 before the loss. “Tons of credit to Columbia, they are a veteran team that executed sharply in big moments,” Miami head coach Katie Meier said. The fourth was one of struggle and defeat, allowing Columbia to come back and breeze past Miami in the final minutes. Miami shot just 5-for-16 from behind the arc, an underwhelming performance compared to just last game when they shot 50% from deep.

With 1.4 seconds left in the game and down two points, UCF tried to purposely miss a free throw. However, ‘Canes guard Jordan Miller tipped the ball away as time expired, giving Miami a tight 66-64 win on Sunday evening. The Hurricanes got revenge on the Knights, which beat Miami 95-89 at the Watsco Center last season. Two players were in double figures for UCF: Darius Johnson, who had a game–high 24 points, and Brandon Suggs, who scored 11. Pack led Miami players with 16 points while shooting 7-10 from the field and dishing out three assists.

For Pitt, it’s bowl season. For Miami, it’s next season.

The Hurricanes started off the holiday weekend with a bang, opening the Miami Thanksgiving Tournament with a dominant 97-54 rout of the North Carolina A&T Aggies. UM scored 90 points in a game for the first time since 2018, when the team reached the NCAA Tournament. Sophomore guard Jasmyne Roberts powered the team on offense, recording seven of her nine total points in the fourth quarter. The Hurricanes will play against the Columbia Lions up next in the championship round of the Miami Thanksgiving Tournament on Sunday. The game will begin about 30 minutes after the end of the tournament consolation game, which begins at noon.

Some Hurricanes players may play in their final collegiate game on Saturday night, and senior tight end Will Mallory is one of them. Some Hurricanes players may play in their final collegiate game on Saturday night, and senior tight end Will Mallory is one of them. “It’s all about the people.”Mallory has stayed through thick and thin, and he is among a small group of ‘Canes that have reached their senior season after having spent every prior year of eligibility at Miami. “A top-10 defense, top three in sacks and tackles for losses, defending conference champions and a really good football team,” Miami head coach Mario Cristobal said. After a tough challenge, Miami will need to beat a solid Pittsburgh team to become bowl-eligible.

To start the match, Miami looked good as it grabbed a 10-4 lead against the Seminoles. The match would tighten up from there before Florida State pulled away in the final stretch to claim the opening set, 25-20. The ‘Canes would never hold a lead or tie the score against Florida State as it cruised to a 25-16 second-set victory. The teams went back and forth for a few points before Florida State took the lead for the final time. The Seminoles would close out the match and Miami’s regular season by taking the final set, 25-22.

Miami men’s basketball’s undefeated season came to an end Sunday afternoon, as it was demolished by the University of Maryland, 88-70, in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament championship game. Maryland was immaculate on both ends of the floor, and the Hurricanes were never able to match its level of play. Its 11 offensive rebounds led to 18 second chance points, the amount that the Hurricanes lost by. Miami’s leading rebounder was Norchad Omier, but he had only six rebounds in the game, an uncharacteristic low for him. As the game went on, Maryland seemed to be running circles around an exhausted Miami.

The Florida native joined an elite group of ‘Canes on Friday night as she surpassed the milestone of 1000 career kills. In commanding fashion, Grieve led the match with 19 kills and boasted a .389 hit percentage to help Miami volleyball sweep Syracuse at the Knight Sports Complex. In the second set, the ‘Canes rattled off several kills and aces to gain an 18-6 advantage. At 23-11, Miami would sputter slightly, but Grieve grabbed the final two points off first ball kills as the ‘Canes won comfortably, 25-18. Grieve cemented her historic achievement with authority, becoming the only ‘Cane to record double digit kills on the night with 19.

Mario Cristobal had strong words on Wednesday.

Miami men’s basketball slammed nine dunks against in-state foe Florida A&M, including several one-handed jams and alley-oops, as it cruised to its third consecutive victory, 87-61. Arkansas State transfer Norchad Omier dominated the glass with seven rebounds and poured in a game-high 21 points on 10-of-12 shooting. The Nicaragua native helped Miami pull away at the end of the first half, sparking a run with six straight points that put the ‘Canes up 25-17 with 5:04 remaining. “I just tried to do what I work on in practice every day and go to work,” Omier said. Next up, the ‘Canes face their toughest test yet against undefeated Providence at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.

In the first set, Miami (17-9, 10-5 Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC)) picked up where the previous match left off, gaining a five–point advantage in the early stages of the set. Clemson (12-15, 3-12 ACC) would come back and briefly take the lead at 16-15, before the ‘Canes grabbed control again. Miami leveled the score at 25 before Clemson scored two consecutive points to steal the opening set. Miami’s poised and efficient play proved the previous match had not been a fluke.

It was a grim night for a sold-out crowd on Saturday night at Hard Rock Stadium as Miami lost its fifth game of the season to Florida State. I knew it but, we got to build, stuff like this it ain’t, it ain’t it,” Miami head coach Mario Cristobal said after the game. Here are the key takeaways from the loss:Miami is not a good football teamMany believed Miami could at least achieve a solid nine-win season. Unfortunately for Miami’s fans, they often hear some form of the above message each week, and the disappointment mounts.

Three key takeaways from the state’s football scene this weekend.

In the sleepy town of Earlysville, Virginia, 12 miles north of Charlottesville, the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Cross Country Championships were set to commence on Friday morning. The University of Miami women’s team walked away with its best finish in program history, placing 12th out of the field of 15. “We made program history today and although it’s tough to miss out on 11th place by one point, I couldn’t be more proud of the growth of this young team,” Coach Cody Halsey said in a Miami Athletics release. “Daphnee had a phenomenal showing today,” Halsey said. “Elle and Bianca also had extraordinary races today,” Halsey said.

Jake Garcia’s two-point scoring run in the fourth overtime – the only play of the day to reach the end zone – gave Miami a 14-12 win over Virginia on Saturday.

Miami (3-4, 1-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) will be traveling to Charlottesville, Virginia to take on the Virginia Cavaliers (3-4, 1-3 ACC) in its third away game of the season. The Hurricanes will look to bounce back after a disappointing 45-21 loss to Duke at Hard Rock Stadium last Saturday. Its biggest task is going to be containing senior Virginia quarterback Brennan Armstrong. The offense is going to be tested as it will play against a solid Virginia defense led by senior Chico Bennett Jr. The defensive end has an ACC-leading six sacks this season and looks to feast on an injured Miami offensive line.

To begin the first set, Miami got off to a blistering start. Miami (13-8, 6-4 ACC) also beat Virginia Tech, 3-0, in a sweep on Sunday afternoon at the Knight Sports Complex. Virginia Tech failed to keep the score close, and UM closed out the second set, 25-16. UM set itself up in a good position throughout each set as it quickly jumped out to leads. Help from younger players, including redshirt freshman Ava Francis and sophomore Elayna Duprey, made the Hurricanes too dominant offensively for Virginia Tech to contain.

On a Sunday afternoon in Charlottesville, Virginia, the Hurricanes needed grit and poise to get back to .500 in the ACC standings, as they defeated the Virginia Cavaliers, 3-1. However, the Cavaliers were not flustered by the pressure and scored three straight points to win the set, 25-22. Nearing the finish line, Miami would score two straight points to claim a 24-21 lead and force Virginia to defend three set points, which it did to level the score at 24-all. Miami had another set point that was saved again before Virginia had a set point of its own. In total, Virginia saved eight straight set points before losing the ninth.

In their first win in over a month, the Hurricanes football team defeated the Virginia Tech Hokies, 20-14, on Saturday at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Va.

Hurricanes soccer took to the field brimming with confidence on Sunday afternoon in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, but were decisively defeated by Wake Forest, 2-0. Lacking the support and energy of the Miami faithful, the ‘Canes did not have the offensive spark needed to pressure the stalwart Wake Forest (9-3-2, 3-3 ACC) defense. Wake Forest recorded 11 shots in the first half, breaking through in the 32nd minute when junior Olivia Stonewall found the back of the net. In the second half, Wake Forest applied even more pressure, tallying another 17 shots and scoring once more in the 72nd minute as freshman Alex Wood doubled the lead to two.

Miami hoped to bounce back from two straight losses as they began conference play at home against the North Carolina Tar Heels on Saturday. Yet, the Hurricanes lost another frustrating game, as the University of North Carolina (UNC) took them down at Hard Rock Stadium, 27-24. The Offense Needs to Step UpThe box score would suggest that Miami’s offense had a respectable performance, scoring 24 points. North Carolina entered the contest with statistically one of the worst defenses in the nation and Miami’s offense continually came up short on big opportunities. In the second half, however, the defense held quarterback Drake Maye and the high-scoring North Carolina offense to only six points.

Survivors of Hurricane Ian face a long emotional road to recover from one of the most damaging storms to hit the U.S. mainland.

Instead, quarterback Tyler Van Dyke threw an interception with seconds left to seal the victory for the Tar Heels, 27-24. “None of the stats matter if we lose the game,” Van Dyke said. Wide receiver Key’shawn Smith’s inside slant was run to perfection as Van Dyke found him for the 20-yard score. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Miami had a chance to tie it up in the red zone. However, when Miami got the ball back after quickly stopping North Carolina, Van Dyke threw an interception to end the game.

The University of Miami volleyball team fell to in-state rival Florida State, 3-2, on Wednesday night at Tully Gymnasium. Miami is now under .500 in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) for the first time since the 2020 season after dropping its second straight match. After losing the first two sets, 26-24 and 25-22, Miami (9-7, 2-3 ACC) made a great comeback effort by winning the next two, 25-20 and 26-24. Then, two straight Florida State kills by Skye Ekes and Audrey Koenig clinched set one for the Seminoles. However, two kills by redshirt junior Angela Grieve and errors by FSU gave the Hurricanes five straight points to win the set, 26-24.

Goalkeeper Melissa Dagenais was born to be the face of Miami soccer. That was definitely a nice reward for all the work I did last season,” Dagenais said. “My first love of soccer started when I was 7 or 8 years old,” Dagenais said.

Although this season started off great, Hurricanes soccer has struggled in recent history, with a one-win season in 2020 being the low pont.

The University of Miami volleyball team fell to NC State, 3-1, on Sunday afternoon at Reynolds Coliseum. However, the Wolfpack (9-6, 3-1 ACC) came back both times to take the first two sets, 25-20. Miami would bounce back in the third set, recording nine kills and four aces to take it 25-20. Ava Brizard, Vanja Bukilic and Amanda Rice all recorded 15 kills for NC State while redshirt junior Angela Grieve led Miami with 15 kills of her own.

With under 10 minutes to go, sophomore Ashley Rauch put her second goal of the season past Miami goalkeeper Melissa Dagenais. Tennessee native Paola Ellies made her first goal of the day near the 90-minute mark, putting the nail in the Hurricanes’ coffin.

In its second conference game of the season, Miami’s women’s soccer team lost to the Pittsburgh Panthers in a 3-1 match. “Their execution in the second half was better than ours,” Miami head coach Sarah Barnes said in a UM athletics release. In the first half, Dagenais and the Hurricanes’ defense were winning the battle. From the start of the second half, it was all about the Panthers. The offensive attack from the ‘Canes was non-existent in the second half, posting zero shots on goal.

Will Mallory found himself around Hurricanes tight ends long before first competing as one at Miami. Things happen for a reason.”Once the Hurricanes sputtered to a 2-3 start last season, Mallory missed early opportunities to capitalize as a consistent option in their offense. “He’s an unbelievable young man on and off the field, so he continues to work on his craft,” tight-ends coach Stephen Field said. During fall camp and the opening weeks of the season, Mallory’s experience has guided UM’s younger tight ends to blossom in a new offense. “From (my dad), my two uncles, my grandpa, they all coached and played football in college,” Mallory said.

In their Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) opening game, the University of Miami women’s soccer team fell short to the Louisville Cardinals, 1-0, on Saturday night in Louisville, Ky.“We fought hard and competed for 90 minutes,” Miami head coach Sarah Barnes said. After a back-and-forth first half resulting in no goals, the Cardinals (4-1-2, 1-0 ACC) found their rhythm in the 63rd minute.

Louisville remained consistent throughout the second half in their scoring attempts; however, they were no match for Dagenais and her incredible saves. Miami and Louisville combined for 28 fouls, three of which were yellow cards in a very physical encounter.

The ‘Canes could not regain their lead and lost another very close set, 25-22, giving South Carolina a commanding 2-0 advantage. Miami took a quick 6-2 lead to start the third set with multiple impressive kills and blocks.

Miami fans were ready to witness a historic moment in Hurricanes’ football history. However, to only lose by one possession through all the mistakes shows the effort and determination of this Miami football team. Miami’s last matchup against an SEC team was last year’s season opener against the University of Alabama. Miami defensive linemen Jahfari Harvey and Darrell Jackson Jr. both had a sack and a tackle for loss in the game. While Miami has much room to improve, Saturday’s game still showed a glimpse of the Hurricanes’ competitiveness to reach success nationally and in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

They held the edge for much of the contest, but Miami clawed its way back to take a 22-21 lead. As the fourth set commenced, it became apparent that the Flames were giving it all they had. Not threatened by the Hurricanes’ reputation, UIC would put up a gutsy performance full of kills and aces.

The unbeaten streak for Miami soccer ended on Thursday night at Corbett Soccer Stadium, as the Hurricanes were defeated 2-0 by the South Florida (USF) Bulls. USF junior defender Lucy Roberts headed the ball into the net from a corner kick that was placed perfectly by freshman forward Gentiana Fetaj. The corner kick was one of the nine that Miami allowed throughout the match. However, when all was looking up for Miami, USF sophomore midfielder Chiara Hahn hit a bullet of a shot from a free kick about 30 yards out into the top corner, taking out the Hurricanes’ hopes of winning.
