Miami Women's Hoops Thumps Stanford, Gal Raviv Scores 19: First Alert

The Miami Hurricanes women's basketball team picked up its second straight win on Thursday night, beating the Stanford Cardinals in Coral Gables 66-51.
Gal Raviv led the way for the Hurricanes with 19 points, but she wasn't the only Hurricane to headline the night. Ra Shaya Kyle was honored for her 1,000th career rebound, and five Hurricanes reached double figures.
Despite those being the only five players to register a point, the effort was enough for the win due to the defensive presence the Hurricanes brought to the floor. Stanford hit just 19 out of 60 attempts and went 3-21 from beyond the arc and scored just nine points in the second quarter.
After the back-to-back wins, the Hurricanes now sit at 14-12 on the year and are squarely back above the .500 mark with a pair of home games ahead of them on the schedule. The Hurricanes' next matchup is against Cal this Sunday, with tip off slated for 2 p.m. If the Hurricanes can string together some wins before heading into the ACC Tournament, it'll serve as a chance to play their way into the considerations of multiple postseason selection committees.
