With diminished roster, Canes secure win in first game of season

In their first non-conference game of the season, the Hurricanes women’s basketball team was able to begin their 2020-21 season with a win against Jacksonville.

Despite the risk of Covid-19 and missing starting guard Mykea Gray due to a season-ending ACL tear, Miami was able to rally off a 16-point victory Wednesday afternoon in Coral Gables.

“The first five minutes were not fun to watch,” Miami head coach Katie Meier said. “I like that we kept the faith and we worked through some lineups and got a little spark off the bench when we put in Naomi [Mbandu] for a little bit there and that’s a big job for her.
