Did you notice...
- The University of Miami women’s tennis team wrapped up its first spring event of the season with the Miami Spring Invite at the Neil Schiff Tennis Center. The Hurricanes notched seven wins on the weekend in singles and doubles against NC State, Vanderbilt and Oklahoma. The final day of the Miami Spring Invite started slow for the Hurricanes, as they dropped all three doubles matches. The Hurricanes are back in action as they start the regular season in Boca Raton, Fla., against FAU on Thursday, Jan. 16. Their first home match will be on Saturday, Jan. 18 vs. FIU.
Quote of the Day:
"At Miami, records are not going to stand that long because you really don't have that many opportunities because you're going to split time and you always have to share the ball as a running back. At Miami, it's not like that because we mold everyone so that came come in and contribute."Edgerrin James
