The Hurricanes kicked off the 2015-16 season with an 83-53 win in an exhibition game over Nova Southeastern University (NSU) on Wednesday.
All five starters scored in double-figures for Miami, including redshirt junior forward Keyona Hayes, who missed all of last season with a right ankle injury yet clearly didn’t lose a step. Hayes scored 11 points and grabbed six rebounds.
“I feel like I was ready right away,” Hayes said when asked about how she felt at the start of the game.
Redshirt senior guard Michelle Woods also had a strong outing with 14 points to go along with eight rebounds and four assists.
