The Hurricanes posted an Instagram message appreciating Cavinder's achievement. Within a few hours, Haley's twin sister, Hanna Cavinder, celebrated her milestone.

Haley Cavinder had a solid performance against the Hokies. She finished with 12 points, six rebounds and a team-leading six assists, which improved her averages to 17.9 points, 7.9 rebounds and 4.8 assists for the season.

Meanwhile, Hanna Cavinder finished with nine points and two rebounds against the Hokies. Despite Miami's best efforts, which included a double-double of 15 points and 10 rebounds from Cameron Williams, the Hurricanes failed to seal the deal. They led by as many as 12 points in the fourth quarter, but collapsed toward the end.

Carys Baker finished as the Hokies' top scorer with 23 points, which included seven 3-pointers, and also grabbed nine rebounds.

The Hurricanes suffered their third straight defeat in conference play and their fourth defeat of the season. They will look to bounce back when they travel to New York to face Syracuse on Jan. 12.
