The 15th-ranked Miami Hurricanes women’s tennis team takes a break from ACC play when it hosts 17th-ranked Baylor on Saturday at the Neil Schiff Tennis Center.
The Top-25 non-conference matchup between the Hurricanes and Bears will take place at 4 p.m. FREE #BeatBaylor T-shirts will be given away to the first fans to the first 150 fans to arrive.
Miami (10-2, 6-0 ACC) is on a seven-match winning streak. As part of the streak, the Canes have won six-consecutive ACC matches, including a win against 19th-ranked Georgia Tech. Most recently, the Hurricanes swept a two-match road trip at Pittsburgh and NC State.
The Baylor Bears come to Miami with a 10-4 overall record and are 1-0 in Big 12 play. The Bears most notable wins have come against 10th-ranked USC and 22nd-ranked Rice. Baylor features three players in the ITA rankings—No. 52 Kiah Generatte, No. 68 Ema Burgic and No. 122 Jordaan Sanford.
Miami’s top two singles players, Kelsey Laurente and Stephanie Wagner, remain in the ITA rankings at No. 48 and No. 61, respectively. Monique Albuquerque leads the Hurricanes with 12 singles victories, including a team-long streak of seven in a row.
The Hurricanes hold the edge with two doubles teams ranked in the ITA rankings—14th-ranked Monique Albuquerque and Clementina Riobueno and 31st-ranked Melissa Bolivar and Laurente. Baylor’s top doubles team of Victoria Kisialeva and Blair Shankle is currently ranked 34th in the country.

It means he's made another typical smartass comment where he thinks his readers are know nothing idiots and he's the smartest guy in the room.

The Tiger fans are already running out of patience with Haith. He's getting similar lackluster results and shows all the signs of turning Mizzou into his Miami teams of old.
Posted by: Rand Stevens | March 16, 2014 at 10:06 PM
I can say I really miss that fact we aren't in the tourney this year. Damn. Miami needs to participate in this tourney every year......there's nothing like it in college sports.

@NashSports: I want to give the selection committee a sincere thank you for not allowing Mizzou in the Big Dance. Maybe this is the end of the Haith era.

I don't like any of the above. We need an outsider with a new perspective. No one from the current staff will suffice IMHO. We should go after Vandy's manager, Tim Corbin.

UMike that's interesting about SBB. I dont follow recruiting until its almost signing day but I am quite sure the Golden and staff will do their best to get the FLL product too come down to its twin sister city and play for our MIA Canes!

SBB said Bama leads and he showeed up to the Nike "The Opening" in Miami today with a Bama pullover on.... Still think he ends up a Cane.

Barry:
### What led to UM offensive lineman Hunter Knighton losing consciousness earlier this month? According to multiple people, he had been sick for a few days, hadn’t eaten much and tried to participate in the U-tough training program before collapsing. It was very scary, “touch and go” for a few days, but he’s now out of the hospital and doing well.
### UM is no longer pursuing four-star football/basketball standout Derrick Griffin, who couldn’t make it academically.

Freshman goalkeeper Catalina Perez has been called up to the Colombia women’s senior national team to compete during the 2014 South American Women’s Games in Santiago, Chile.
It will mark the second time Perez has trained with the Colombian senior national team. The Boca Raton, Fla., native, who saw action in six games during her first season with the Miami Hurricanes, also competed in the Pan-American games for Colombia at the age of 17

That Apocalypse Now Football my bust!!!
Posted by: VA Cane | March 15, 2014 at 03:54 PM
Hope all of you are well, we are supposed to get another Winter storm in VA. We just ran some sprints, worked on footwork, stretched....just got loose and starting to prepare for the next hike. We are going to be very good this year; my kids already serious, racing each other, competing with each other.
I have added a new saying to go with Apocalypse Noe Football.
When the Viet Cong were preparing for the TET offensive New Years 1968 they were advised of the importance of the mission. In the end, it failed to accomplish the goals they wanted...i.e. end the war right then....but it was the beginning of the end for the war.....the tide turned and the VC started winning proving search and destroy policy of USA was disaster....that the war was like fighting a mean bad ass dog in his own back yard....even though you were the bigger bully like the US govt...
They were told " Crack The Sky, Shake The Earth" that was the rallying cry.....
We will now use the phrase to motivate us to new heights.....our goal is
1. Get ready get moving get loose
2. Start working on our fundamentals review and practice them over and over
3 Get in shape to play 8 quarters....specific exercises
4 long bike rides during the heat builds stamina character...and you see cool things
5 In August we work in shorts 1 week then its hitting time
6 Dominate our opponents we scrimmage
7 Dominate our opponents at the Jamboree
8 One game at a time dominate 8 weeks game at a time
9 win division be 1 seed
10 win 3 games week at a time dominate 1 game at a time
11 Play in SB dominate punish hurt people
going for 6 of last 8
Play Apocalypse Now Football
"Crack the Sky, Shake the Earth"!!
