On the backs of graduate center Ra Shaya Kyle ‘s career high 30-point performance, Miami women’s basketball defeated rival Florida State 89-73 on Sunday afternoon.
Families, Hurricanes Alumni, and students were all in attendance for the rivalry matchup. Not only were former players like Sheila Simpson (1998-02) and Maria Brown (2010-14) celebrated, but the game had high implications for the students as well.
A raffle took place after the first media timeout of the fourth quarter for two students to win tickets to the College Football Playoff National Championship game on Jan. 19.
The players definitely felt the energy of the students as five Hurricanes including Kyle racked up a double-digit performance.
