What lies ahead for the Cavinder twins and Miami?

After the loss to Stanford, only one regular season game remains for Miami. The Hurricanes will remain on the West Coast for this final matchup, visiting California on Sunday. The Miami women have a clear goal in mind as they prepare for the final conference contest of the season.

Miami currently stands 15th in the ACC standings. With conference tournaments quickly approaching, the Hurricanes will look to remain in this position or better it to make the ACC Tournament. The Hurricanes are currently ahead of Pittsburgh, SMU and Wake Forest, who they beat in their last win.

The teams that sit below Miami also have one game remaining each, with Pittsburgh and Wake Forest set to face each other. The Cavinder twins and their Hurricanes teammates will aim to stay hot and secure a spot in the conference tournament when they take on the California Golden Bears next at Haas Pavilion on Sunday.
