Senior Day lived up to its name on Sunday as forward Keyona Hayes scored a career-high 24 points and pulled down eight rebounds to lead the University of Miami to a 75-70 win over the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
All three senior-starters – Hayes, Adrienne Motley and Jessica Thomas – scored in double figures for the No. 17 Hurricanes (21-7, 10-6 ACC).
“The seniors did their job, and I’m really proud of them,” Miami Coach Katie Meier said after the game.
In an emotional moment, Hayes and Thomas subbed out of the game for the final time in the regular season with just seconds remaining.
