S pectrUM hopes to touch on a wide range of subjects relevant to the LGBT community during Pride Aware-ness Week.

The 10-day event began with Trans Visibility Day on Thursday and will end on Sunday, coinciding with the eighth annual Miami Beach Gay Pride Parade. On the final day of the SpectrUM-led week, the organization will take University of Mi-ami students and faculty to South Beach to participate in the color-ful parade.

SpectrUM Senator Margo Hall stressed the importance of this week, which not only raises awareness of the LGBT commu-nity, but also encourages everyone at the University of Miami to be themselves.

“This gives us a platform to be visible and to spread our values of love and unconditional acceptance,” Hall said. “I hope that it also shows everybody at this school who is struggling to accept them-selves that there is a thriving community of people like them who are waiting to welcome them with open arms.”

Other events include a discussion of the history of pride and pride marches, a photo shoot for LGBT students and allies to show support for the community and a sexual health forum to discuss issues the LGBT community faces.

The sexual health forum will touch on topics of reproductive health, the Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) pill that helps lower the chance of HIV infection, as well as what services are available in Miami. Hall said she is especially looking forward to the forum.

“Queer people’s needs are often dismissed in conversations about sex because the kind of sex they have isn’t considered nor-mal,” Hall said. “I hope this forum will be a chance to educate those in our community who have not been given the kind of information they need and deserve.”

Pride Awareness Week was kick-started on Thursday with a Trans Visibility Day that brought attention to the accomplishments of trans people around the world. SpectrUM featured a recorded performance by Rebecca Kling, a nationally-renowned trans artist and activist who was part of the inaugural “Trans 100” list in 2013. The list is organized each year by GLAAD, formerly the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.

Morgan Owens, SpectrUM treasurer and Student Govern-ment treasurer-elect, said he hopes the week will allow students to embrace their identities and show LGBT students they do not have to be afraid of who they are.

“Very often, the LGBTQ+ community is told that we should hide parts of who we are, or hold back from being totally honest about ourselves,” Owens said. “We need to make time to express that we aren’t just okay with being who we are, but that we are proud.”

Owens also said that the week isn’t just for students, but also for those outside UM, including families and friends.

“We aren’t asking them to just tolerate us, but to be proud of us. Shame is often prescribed to us by those around us as the appro-priate response to being who we are, and that becomes toxic when we start to believe it. Pride is how we try to fight that,” Owens said.

The week comes during a time when states such as Georgia and North Carolina are trying to pass a bill considered “anti-gay”

by many people and news organizations, including CNN and The New York Times.

The legislation would allow business owners and religious groups to deny service to LGBT individuals, allowing widespread discrimination.

Hall said a focus for the week will be highlighting the persever-ance and resilience of the LGBT community despite the struggles and oppressive conditions they may face.

“I think it’s important to show that no matter how hard people are fighting to take away our rights, nothing will stop us from being proud of who we are,” Hall said.

P rofessors and engineers f lew in from all over the world for the f ifth annual We Robot con-ference. The conference on legal and policy issues relating to robotics was organized by

the UM School of Law on Friday and Saturday at the Newman Alumni Center.

A host of robotics experts attended the conference, including a team from the Parisian branch of Aldeba-ran Robotics, a manufacturer of “humanoid” or human-like robots, including the f irst personal emotional robot, called “Pepper.”

The three-foot-tall android can be used in depart-ment stores to help locate items and greet people. Pepper has the ability to detect the emotion, age and gender of the person with whom it is interacting. Bill Loft from Aldebaran approximated that the robot will be commer-cially available in the near future for about $20,000, but Aldebaran has not released an official statement.

Also on display was the OpenROV aquatic ro-bot, used for exploring underwater environments. The $1,000 android has the ability to track fish and locate and mark ocean garbage. The robot is com-monly used for underwater research as well as for educational purposes. OpenROV is currently used by the U.S. Navy for hull inspections on ships.

Fumio Shimpo, a law professor at Keio Univer-sity in Japan, was in attendance and noted Japan’s ongoing effort to largely automate the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. This was part of reason he attended the conference, Shimpo said.

“We have to think about how to regulate, but also at the same time how to promote such new technology. Therefore, robotics law is the next big issue for our leading scholars,” Shimpo said.

The conference also served as the official book launch of “Robot Law,” a distillation of the most important papers from the five previous We Robot events at UM. UM law professor Michael Froom-kin, the program chair of the event and co-editor of the book, said he saw this as an important step toward the future of understanding robotic law.

“It helps explain to people that this is actually a coherent subject of study … that it makes sense to talk about robot law,” Froomkin said.

CAMPUS LIFE

T he student-led Canes Emer-gency Response Team (CERT) played out what it might be like to respond to an explosion Sun-

day morning at Dooley Memorial Build-ing.

With Coral Gables Fire and Rescue, Miami-Dade Emergency Management and Miami-Dade’s Citizens Emergency Response Team helping out, CERT and advisors from the Office of Emergency Management (OEM) practiced the cor-rect procedures to take if and when a boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion (BLEVE) takes place.

Sean Fay from the OEM explained the scenario: a propane-powered forklift had exploded and victims were injured

inside and outside of Dooley, as well as in the adjacent parking lot, where a car ac-cident occurred in the chaotic aftermath. The volunteers who acted as victims were given prosthetic wounds and were often covered in fake blood, lying on the ground

acting hurt. Fay said there is a “shock fac-tor” to responding to an emergency and the OEM tried to make it as realistic as possible to recreate that.

“The CERT team did a great job; they learned not only how to do emergen-

cy response, but also how to control the scene,” Fay said.

Controlling the scene meant staying organized and calm while performing a number of emergency response proce-dures such as using a f ire extinguisher on a live f ire, search and rescue, medical tri-age, medical transport or evacuation and emergency medical care. CERT respond-ers are considered “force multipliers” for f irst responders, such as f irefighters and paramedics, offering them extra hands, eyes and ears, according to Fay.

They ran through the scenario twice so they could review what they had done and improve upon their performance, ac-cording to Fay.

Assistant Vice President of Opera-tions for CERT Denise Manfrini said that it is important they’re not just dealing with theoretical scenarios but are practic-ing hands-on emergency response.

“It was successful,” Manfrini said. “Everyone got a chance to practice a va-riety of skills.”

The CERT exercise occurs once a semester, although the group trains on a smaller scale throughout the semester. Fay said the OEM offers classes and train-ing in a “non-threatening environment” to any interested student organizations.

April 4 - April 6, 2016 THE MIAMI HURRICANE OPINION 5

W hile scanning through a col-lection of daily headlines, also

known as Facebook, I came across this status from one of my friends.

“Really sad that selfishness is an attitude actively promoted by this university,” wrote Alexis Alvarez, 21. “Disappointed in our Student Government for en-dorsing this.”

Photos of the source were included: a palm card from our pupil overlords which, on the front, said, “These are your four years to be selfish. Make yourself the priority,” and, on the back, read, “And re-member, you live in a place where people vacation.”

First of all, do people vacation in Coral Gables? Do they really drive 30 minutes from South Beach just to waft the duck-poop Yankee Candle that domi-nates the campus’s atmosphere? Note: It would be called, “Granny Smith Crapple.”

Either way, the post was flooded with passion-ate, paragraph-long comments from friends support-

ing Alexis’s thesis, responses that they probably put more thought into than their homework.

Later on, Alexis informed me that a member of Student Government actually emailed her afterward to explain that this was a quote from Adam Levine, a former Student Government senator who passed away a few weeks ago.

Now, I knew Adam since we were 10 years old at Jewish sleep-away camp, and it makes sense that he said this, especially considering that before we started school at UM, he actually posted a photo on Face-book of the view at South Beach that said something along the lines of “I can’t believe my school is at the beach!!!!!” Love that kid.

Nevertheless, I believe my friend Adam’s point was that you need to remember to do the things that make you happy. He didn’t literally mean “be selfish.” And considering our religion, he also didn’t mean “be shellfish.”

Because Adam was one of the most selfless people I knew, you could see that in the way he in-cluded people in the activities that made him happy. He understood it was important to make mental well-ness a priority. And now, you can learn from Adam by taking control of the aspects of your lives that can promote better living.

For example, I know we are all picking our class-es for next semester, and please believe me when I say you should space them out.

You need time in between classes to let your life breathe. Imagine trying to eat your three meals back-

to-back-to-back. There’s no way you could hold all of that in there (insert dining hall diarrhea joke here).

Secondly, venture to the greater outdoors.Take a walk around our lake. Sit on a rocking

chair and watch the sunset on the Intramural fields. If your motivation is to go outside so you can take heav-ily filtered Instagrams to brag to your friends about your school choice ... fine. I love showing off to the safety schools in Connecticut anyway.

And, most importantly, you need people. You cannot achieve any career without love in your life, or you will forget how to form and maintain intimate connections with your own species. Without that, you will forget how to better serve the people you are trying to help with your occupation in the first place. There’s a reason Wal-Mart’s most basic position is referred to as a people greeter. It’s the fundamental foundation of service, and for understanding Mu-fasa’s death by working on Black Friday.

Of course, that’s easier said than done. But that is why we have hundreds of clubs on OrgSync.

Reach out to the ones that interest you, or pick the most random ones that you never imagined your-self participating in. As long as you are sincere and paying attention to the people you meet, you can de-velop long-lasting relationships.

And if you don’t see a club you like, start a new one. People always respond to initiative and passion. Maybe a Yankee Candle club?

OpinionOpinionEDITORIAL

The “Suntan U” reputation has long characterized the University of Miami as a haven for students with deep pockets. UM, where the cheap-est cars in the parking lot belong to the professors.

Considering the hefty price tag of tuition, the affluence seen on cam-pus is not that surprising. If we want to grow out of the “rich kids” repu-tation to become a truly diverse and hemispheric university, we must pave

the way for students from all financial backgrounds.

The current estimated annual cost of attendance for an on-campus resident at the University of Miami is around $62,854. The rising cost has outpaced the rate of inflation for over a decade.

While UM has an 18-percent Pell Grant recipient enrollment rate, which suggests that we are an eco-nomically diverse campus, the degree is still unaffordable for most low-in-come students. A recent report pub-lished by New America, a think tank in Washington, D.C., shows that UM is one of the most expensive private colleges in the U.S. for low-income students. The report indicates that

UM charges the sixth-highest average net price (after accounting for all mer-it and need-based financial aid) of $24,792 for its Pell Grant recipients.

This cost is staggering consider-ing that the average family income of a Pell Grant recipient is around $20,302, according to Fastweb.com.

“Part of the reason for this is that the University of Miami uses a substantial share of its institutional fi-nancial aid to provide scholarships to wealthy students,” said New Ameri-ca analyst Stephen Burd.

According to Collegedata.com, 33.2 percent of the 2014-15 entering freshman class demonstrated no fi-nancial need but were gifted merit-aid awards averaging $17,507.

On the other hand, for students who did demonstrate need, only 27.8 percent had their need fully met. On average, only 75 percent of demon-strated need could be met, consider-ing both the need-based and merit aid a needy student may have received. The average need-based award was $29,028.

In order to achieve the atmo-sphere of diversity that UM is work-ing toward, the school needs to act fast to make this campus more acces-sible to students of all backgrounds, especially those whose potential is untapped due to financial limitations.

More aid needed for low-income students

L ong feathers, pearls, flapper fringe dresses, headbands and sequined gowns took over the BankUnited Center’s Field-

house Saturday night for the 2016 Com-mencement Ball, “A Gatsby Affair.” The ball was a part of this year’s lineup of Se-nior Send-Off events.

The event, which was organized by Student Government (SG) in partnership with Student Affairs, the Office of Com-mencement and the Alumni Association, sold 625 tickets. The Gatsby theme was one of several options that seniors could vote on in an online poll, according to Student Government President Brianna Hathaway.

When the doors opened at 7:30 p.m., a long line of seniors and alumni dressed in 1920s fashions waited outside. Once guests stepped into the room, they could take photos with dates or friends against a UM backdrop before proceeding to the party, which had a checkboard dance floor, feather decorations and crystal-bead spheres. Two large screens featured con-tent posted on social media with a hashtag for the event, #UMBall16.

“I’m really impressed; decorations are gorgeous. It’s a classy way to send us off,” said Allie Hussey, a graduating senior.

Senior David Colbus expressed a simi-lar sentiment. He admired the effort put into decorating the room and adhering to the Gatsby theme.

“I’m so impressed. I would have never thought they could turn this room into such a beautiful place,” Colbus said.

Hathaway gave a small speech for the class of 2016 during the event. Vice Presi-dent for Student Affairs Patricia Whitely did as well, commenting on all of the changes the class has witnessed during their time at UM, including the construc-tion of the Shalala Student Center, the

inauguration of President Frenk and the hiring of a new Hurricanes football coach. Along with Dean of Students Ricardo Hall, the speakers proposed a toast to the seniors for their time at the institution.

“I’m glad it’s come into fruition be-cause this was just a little idea we had when we were planning Brianna’s cam-paign for president,” said Renee Perez, Student Government director of commu-nications, on the smooth execution of the event.

As the graduating seniors topped off a night with their fellow Canes and Sebas-tian, everyone came together for a “Canes spell-out” before watching a video that highlighted their four years at UM. The video showed clips of traditional events from Homecoming to sports games.

W alt Disney Pictures is due to release “The Jungle Book,” a hair-raising live-action and computer-generated imagery

fantasy-adventure film, on April 15. This re-make of the 1967 classic is bound to capture audiences with its vivid pictures and gripping story. The Miami Hurricane spoke with direc-tor Jon Favreau during a media conference call in which he explained his work on the film.

Favreau is known for his successful act-ing career in addition to his past directing jobs on “Elf,” “Iron Man” and “Chef,” but “The Jungle Book” is his first animated project.

The 2016 film is an adaptation of Ru-dyard Kipling’s book, “The Jungle Book,” which was originally published in 1894. Walt Disney also produced an animated musical of the same name in 1967. Favreau was a huge

fan of the musical and it inspired him on this latest project.

“I knew that I wanted to include the mu-sic and the emotion [of the 1967 version] and really pay tribute to the legacy of the film and of Walt Disney,” Favreau said.

Overall, Favreau said he was happy with the animation technology he was able to work with for the film in order to produce the final product.

“It makes for a much more decisive, cleaner, sharper, well-paved story that I’m used to dealing with at this point, so as I watch it, it feels like a lot of care went into polishing this,” Favreau said.

His goal throughout the detailed process of creating visuals was to bring the story to life, Favreau explained.

“This process is all about ... tiny, tiny de-tails. It’s about blades of grass; it’s about how many frames you trim,” Favreau said, explain-ing that the purpose of his job is to make the story flow as smoothly as possible.

“The Jungle Book” tells the classic story of Mowgli (Neel Sethi), a boy raised in the jungle by a pack of wolves, and follows his journey to self-discovery in which he encoun-ters a host of interesting creatures, many of whom don’t have his best interests in mind.

The 2016 film has a star-studded lineup, including Neel Sethi as Mowgli, and it also features the voices of Bill Murray, Idris Elba, Christopher Walken, Giancarlo Esposito, Scarlett Johansson, Lupita Nyong’o and Ben Kingsley.

April 4 - April 6, 2016 THE MIAMI HURRICANE SPORTS 9

.581%SportsSports Zack Collins leads the ACC with a .581 on-base percentage. The junior catcher has reached base in 22 consecutive games.

T he Hurricanes fell behind early for the sixth consecutive game on Sunday afternoon, and for the sixth time it didn’t matter, as No. 3 Miami took

down No. 9 North Carolina 7-4 for the series sweep in front of 3,125 fans at Mark Light Field.

“It’s outstanding because we’re beating guys that are good too,” Miami Head Coach Jim Mor-ris said of the come-from-behind wins against strong pitchers on UNC and No. 17 Clemson. “It’s a very positive thing to know that our guys will keep battling against these type [of] guys.”

Sophomore center fielder Carl Chester had Miami’s first three hits and reached base five times on Sunday. “I felt good at the plate, taking some pitches, seeing some pitches, putting the ball in play,” said Chester, who also reached base 13 times in Miami’s sweep against Clemson last weekend.

North Carolina struck first with three runs on three hits and two walks in the second in-ning. Left-handed junior Danny Garcia had his shortest outing of the season, leaving the game with two outs in the fourth inning and the bases loaded. Right-handed freshman Keven Pimentel

got shortstop Logan Warmoth to ground out to get out of the jam.

After mustering just two hits in four score-less innings, the Canes scored five runs in the fifth on three hits and three walks. Junior catcher Zack Collins came up with the bases loaded and no outs, but Miami’s star slugger struck out swinging on three pitches against right-handed reliever A.J. Bogucki.

That brought up Jacob Heyward, who struck out with the bases loaded to end the third inning and three times overall in the game. The junior left fielder had no such struggles in this at-bat though, smoking a two-run double over center fielder Tyler Ramirez’s head.

“It was a big hit, man. Big hit for the team,” Heyward said.

The Canes (23-4, 10-2) next tied the game on a wild pitch and took the lead on a sac-fly. Senior shortstop Brandon Lopez walked and scored the fifth run of the frame by avoiding a tag at home plate on a single to right by junior right fielder Willie Abreu.

Right-handed freshman Andrew Cabezas took the mound in the top of Miami’s huge fifth inning and retired the next seven batters. Cabezas (2-0) ran into some trouble in the seventh after giv-ing up two singles, but fellow right-handed fresh-man Frankie Bartow induced a pop-up and struck out right fielder Adam Pate to end the inning.

“I just wanted to get Danny out of it and give our boys ... I mean they’ve been hitting great com-ing back every game this series, and I just wanted to give them the opportunity once again,” Cabe-zas said.

North Carolina (20-7, 6-6) made it 5-4 in the top of the eighth on a two-out single followed by a double off Bartow. Junior closer Bryan Garcia finished off the eighth and pitched a scoreless ninth for his 34th career save, tied for third-most in UM history with Robbie Morrison.

The Canes added two insurance runs for Garcia in the bottom of the eighth as UNC pitch-ers struggled to find the plate. Collins walked in a run on four pitches with the bases loaded and Chester scored on a wild pitch.

Miami, 20-3 at home this season, has now won seven straight and 18 of its last 20 games. The Canes next play Florida Gulf Coast at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday in Fort Myers.

STARTING STRONG: Sophomore center fielder Carl Chester hits a leadoff single up the third baseline during the Hurricanes’ 7-4 win over UNC at Alex Rodriguez Park at Mark Light Field Sunday afternoon. The Canes swept the Tar Heels, bringing their ACC record to 10-2.

D espite weather delays, the Hurricanes track and field team competed in two of the biggest outdoor meets in the nation from Thursday to Saturday: the 89th Annual Nike Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays and the

2016 Pepsi Florida Relays. The Texas Relays were held at the Uni-versity of Texas in Austin, while the Florida Relays took place at the University of Florida in Gainesville.

In Austin, freshman Anne Den Otter placed sixth in the wom-en’s 1,500-meter Section B final on Thursday with a new personal-best time of 4:38.45. Friday saw strong showings from Gian Piero Ragonesi and senior John-Patrick Friday.

Ragonesi’s throw of 52.05 meters earned him the bronze in men’s discus. The junior closed out his weekend by placing sixth in the shot put, notching an 18.11-meter throw. Friday had top-10 fin-ishes in the men’s long jump and men’s triple jump, placing sixth in the long jump at 7.22 meters and seventh in the triple jump at 15.01 meters.

The final day of the Texas Relays on Saturday was quite event-ful for the Canes. Senior ACC Indoor Champion Dakota Dailey-Harris finished fifth in the women’s high jump at 1.74 meters. Senior Alysha Newman won the silver medal in women’s pole vault, clear-ing 4.30 meters.

The women’s 4x100-meter relay of Shakima Wimbley, Caro-lyn Brown, Aiyanna Stiverne and Ebony Morrison ran a season-best 44.33 seconds to finish fifth in the final. Morrison later won the

bronze in the women’s 100-meter hurdles final with a season-best 13.34 seconds.

“I saw a lot of positives even though they may not show in the results,” Miami Director of Track and Field/Cross Country Amy Deem said to HurricaneSports.com.

In Gainesville, the Canes achieved quite a few season and per-sonal bests. On Thursday, redshirt sophomore Gabrielle Hesslau ran a new personal best and the fifth-fastest women’s 5,000-meter time in school history, clocking in at 17:27.64. The open men’s 400-me-ter trio of Breon Mullings, Joseph Ryan and Anthony Wolliston ran season-best times of 48.47, 49.06 and 50.82 seconds, respectively. In the college edition of the same event on Friday, Henri Delauze ran a season-best 47.38.

Friday also saw Florida Relays action from sophomore distance runner Luke Dublirer and the men’s 4x400-meter relay. In the men’s 800-meter, Dublirer ran a personal-best 1:56.35, while Mullings, De-lauze, Ryan and Wolliston ran a season-best 4x400-meter relay time of 3:11.48.

10 SPORTS THE MIAMI HURRICANE April 4 - April 6, 2016

T he University of Miami Executive MBA Program for Artists and Athletes concluded its March ses-sion on Friday. Current and former NFL players, along with sports and entertainment executives,

study at the School of Business Administration in six resi-dency modules over an 18-month period. The modules are in February, March and June in addition to online classes between the modules and in the fall, while current NFL ath-letes are in season.

“These are very intense residencies,” Vice Dean Anuj Mehrotra said. “Typically in a residency of two weeks, they will be taking five to six credits of workload.”

Though the program includes rigorous, eight-hour days for each two-week module, Mehrotra explained that the pro-gram structure engages students throughout. “All our MBA programs have different types of pedagogy. Some of it is lectures, some of it is group discussions, some of it is case studies,” Mehrotra said.

Moreover, the graduate students in the program are de-termined to grow their brands and become more well-round-ed. Athletes, like former Florida State and current Buffalo

Bills quarterback EJ Manuel, are looking to further invest in themselves in order to prepare for life after football.

“When I go and speak to these CEOs of these big com-panies, these businessmen, I can speak and have a conver-sation but also have the knowledge to have behind what I was talking about,” Manuel said. “The fact that I’m taking accounting classes and marketing classes, I feel that my per-spective would be more advantageous than it would the next athlete or the next guy who didn’t take those classes.”

Miami Dolphins safety Michael Thomas agreed.“I chose [the program] to gain basic knowledge and

basic skills of being a more efficient manager of my own business,” Thomas said. “That’s being able to talk to my financial advisor and understanding more in-depth of what’s going on. That’s being able to look at balance sheets and spreadsheets and income statements and being able to know what’s going on.”

The program encourages teamwork common on the football field. Thomas especially likes that the classes pro-mote sharing ideas.

“You get to hear what some people are already working on and getting to do and that’s cool,” he said. “Also, you get to create new ideas for guys to see this is how they think, and this is how I think, and you can piggyback off each other and grow.”

The balance of focus on football and professional life outside of the game itself is especially beneficial for athletes, like dual-sport Hurricane legend Santana Moss.

“You’ll find out that there are a lot of bright football players. That’s one of the things I learned sitting in class with a lot of these guys,” Moss said. “People don’t give us the credit that we’re due when it comes to how far our minds can expand when it comes to the knowledge that we take in.

I sit in class and I’m wowed because some of these guys are really just bright.”

For Moss, the program reminds him of the intersessions he took during his time at UM. Though he did not enjoy go-ing to class as an undergrad, he missed college. The former New York Jets and Washington Redskins player was hungry for a challenge and decided to come back to the university to earn an MBA to use for his real-estate venture.

“I’ve learned more to apply myself now than I did when I was younger. This time around, school isn’t bad when you know what you’re doing,” Moss said. “When you get a chance to study, when you get a chance to get that reading in, when you are able to come to class and not have to worry about being called on … You’re ready for everything.”

Not every graduate student in the program has NFL ties. Horace Madison has decades of experience as a finan-cial planner and business manager, representing a host of artists including Stevie J, Mase, Kelly Price, DMX, Eve and Lil Wayne. Madison decided to join the UM Executive MBA Program to gain entrepreneurial skills.

“The way the music industry has changed so much the past five to six years, there is a much different lay of the land,” Madison said. “Managers, business managers and production companies have to be way more entrepreneurial, so a tremendous amount of what I’ve been learning in this Executive MBA class will be applicable here.”

Madison also noted the desire of his professional-athlete classmates to expand beyond their athletic personal brands. “There’s a much greater awareness, desire and, I believe, need for financial understanding and entrepreneurship.”

The program, which started in February 2015, will have its first graduating class this summer.

ATHLETICS

T he No. 7 Hurricanes women’s tennis team con-tinued its dominant spring with a 7-0 sweep against No. 29 Clemson on Saturday. After a flawless month of March, the Canes are now

riding a nine-match winning streak.Miami battled through difficult weather conditions in

South Carolina as wind gusts reached more than 30 miles per hour. “We had to embrace the environment today,” Miami Head Coach Paige Yaroshuk-Tews said to Hur-ricaneSports.com.

The Canes (13-4, 8-2) clinched the match with No. 6 sophomore Sinead Lohan’s victory in straight sets. Soph-omore Wendy Zhang recorded her first career win against

a top-25 opponent, beating No. 20 Joana Eidukonyte in two sets.

“Wendy played a complete match today,” Yaroshuk-Tews said to HurricaneSports.com. “When she does that, she’s capable of good things.”

The men’s tennis team, on the other hand, would like a redo to its spring schedule. The Hurricanes have lost four consecutive matches after falling to Georgia Tech and Clemson over the weekend, dropping their record since the beginning of March to 3-8.

The Canes’ loss to Clemson on Sunday was the closer of the two affairs as they were defeated 4-3. The match started with the Canes (7-11, 2-6) trailing early when they lost the doubles point. Miami came back from a 3-1 defi-cit to tie Clemson with one singles match remaining, but freshman Fermin Calvo lost in straight sets to Clemson’s Austin Ansari.

The Canes did not fare any better when they faced Georgia Tech on Friday, losing 5-2 to the Yellow Jackets.

The Canes lost the doubles point and continued to struggle in singles play, as only Calvo and junior Jesse Flores came away with wins.

The men’s team next plays North Carolina State at 2:30 p.m. on Friday in Coral Gables, while the women’s team travels to North Carolina to play Wake Forest at 4 p.m. also on Friday.
