From Hiatus to Hardwood

Following a year focused on business ventures and other interests, Cavinder’s return to Miami is fueled by her enduring love for basketball. During her hiatus, she felt a growing desire to return to the sport, which she shared with her fans online. “The past few months I have been itching to get back to the game that I thought I lost the passion for,” Cavinder stated. “With that being said, I am returning for one more season.”

Impactful Collegiate Career

Before her break, Cavinder played a crucial role as a key reserve guard in the Hurricanes’ historic Elite Eight run in the 2022-23 season, where the team finished with a 22-13 record. She averaged 3.8 points and 1.3 rebounds per game during her time at Miami. Prior to joining Miami, Cavinder had a standout career at Fresno State alongside her twin sister, Haley, averaging 15.7 points per game over three seasons.

Her decision to return marks an exciting development for both her personal career and the Miami Hurricanes as they aim to build on their previous successes.
