Miami coach and teammates praise Hanna and Haley Cavinder's work ethic
Hanna and Haley Cavinder had incredible careers at Fresno State for three years before they moved to Miami in 2022. Hanna's best season was in her sophomore year when she averaged 17.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.9 assists. Haley's career best was also in her second year at Fresno State as she averaged 19.9 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists.
Following their return to camp for practice in October, Miami coach Tricia Cullop praised the Cavinder twins for their hard work and for setting an example for their teammates.
Cullop said,
“They’re two of the hardest workers I’ve ever coached, or played with, and that’s saying a lot, because I played with some All-Americans. They have an extreme hunger to want to be better, and they set the bar really high for the rest of the players.
“It’s great for my incoming freshman class, which was ranked 18th in the country, to see two kids who have a lot of press being such hard workers. When your best players are your hardest workers, you have something special.”
The twins' Hurricanes teammate, Cam Williams also praised them, saying:
“They’re some of the hardest workers you’ll ever meet; they’re the first ones here every single day. They’ve done an amazing job of setting the standard for this program and letting the younger kids know that we came here to win.”
The Miami Hurricanes are set to take on Florida International on Tuesday.
