Hanna Cavinder credits her boyfriend, Georgia Bulldogs quarterback, Carson Beck, for her across-the-court passing skills. The guard shared a video of her passing from Miami's 84-53 win over Nevada Wolf Pack in the Maui Classic on Thursday.
"When your BF is a QB so it starts rubbing off on you on the court," she wrote on the video.
Hanna Cavinder and Carson Beck went public with their relationship during the Fourth of July weekend. The Miami guard has attended the Bulldogs games multiple times this season.
However, this did not work in her favor at all times as she was ridiculed and dragged through by his fans every time Georgia endured a bad game. She was even jokingly named "the biggest curse in college football."
On the court, Hanna Cavinder is enjoying, leading the Hurricanes with her twin. After a seven-game winning streak, Miami had its first loss against Vanderbilt. The team has since bounced back and is on a four-game streak.
Hanna Cavinder enjoys a better run at Miami in her final season
Hanna Cavinder played her senior season with the Hurricanes, but it was one of her worst as she struggled with production, averaging 3.8 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists. She was ready to hang up her shoes and even had plans for a potential WWE debut.
However, Hanna Cavinder returned for one last season and is now playing her best, averaging 7.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 4.3 assists. With their return, the Cavinder twins are also bringing fans back to the Watsco Center.
“Women’s basketball is exploding, it’s going to help women’s sports in general. Just being able to do our part, getting fans out to our games. We’re promoting it as much as possible,” Hanna said. (via The Miami Herald)
During their senior season run, the Cavinder twins led the Hurricanes to the Elite Eight and Miami coach Tricia Cullop has a similar goal for them this season as well.
"I’m thrilled to have both of them back. They were both part of the Elite Eight experience, and that’s a goal for us," she said.
"They can show the rest of the players, 'This is how we do it,’ They are two of the hardest workers I’ve ever been around. They’re in the gym at 6 or 6:30 in the morning and they’re leaders on the court."
Miami is on a holiday break and will return to action on Dec. 29 against North Carolina.
