Cavinder dazzled in her final year with Miami, leading the Hurricanes in scoring and assists. She averaged 18.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 0.8 steals through 29 games in the 2024-25 season.

Cavinder, who previously played for Fresno State, scored at least 30 points in a game thrice this season. She reached that mark in the games against Florida, Quinnipiac and SMU.

Unfortunately for Cavinder, the Hurricanes failed to reach the 2025 NCAA Tournament as they finished the season with a 14-15 overall record.

Mia Mastrov's college basketball career ended in 2024 after spending four seasons at California. She averaged 2.7 points, 1.4 rebounds, 0.6 steals and 0.5 assists through 30 games for the Golden Bears in the 2023-24 NCAA campaign.

Mastrov shot 31.5% from the field, including 25.7% from beyond the arc in her final season with California.
