UM Dining and the Tacos & Tattoos staff hope that stepping in their restaurant will take stu dents out of the university setting and into one of rich Latin culture; a place to be with friends, relax and enjoy the favors of Mexico and the Caribbean.
From the replacement of Lime Fresh Mexican Grill with local, family-owned Tacos & Tattoos, to an infux of vending machines serving everything from cup cakes to coffee; University of Miami Dining has been working hard to revamp their dining op tions. “This year I am all about acti vating spaces and creating gath ering spaces,” said Ana Alvarez, assistant vice president for auxil iaryTheservices.mostfrequented of these new spaces will likely be the edgy yet charismatic Latin fu sion restaurant Tacos & Tattoos. The newest addition to UM’s on-campus dining is located in the Whitten University Center. Marking the fourth location in their up-and-coming restaurant chain, owner Jonathan “Jay” Cruz could not be more thrilled to bring their sitdown style to the university setting. “I am overjoyed to cook on campus,” Cruz said. “Finding out we would be moving to the uni versity and being able to cook for the most prestigious school in our area while also being attached to the Miami community- it is the biggest thing I’ve done yet.” First opened in 2014 within a modest shopping center, Tacos & Tattoos has expanded its capac ity to seat over 500 customers all without losing the heart and pas sion that brought their frst loca tion so much success. Cruz attri butes the restaurant’s success to their continued emphasis on fam ily values and Latin culture from which the food originated. “This entire concept is derived from our travels, the culture we live within and the recipes we cherish which are recipes we have had close to our family for a long time,” Cruz said. “It’s just a good home grown organic prod uct.”Itwas this authentic and local approach that registered so well within the UM community and secured the spot for Tacos & Tat toos over national brand Qdoba. “They love the university be cause they are local. So, who bet ter to represent and bring in that feel and favor?” said Alvarez. As their slogan “Food & Cul ture” would suggest, culture is just as much a part of the Tacos & Tattoos experience as the meals they“Weserve.arenot just a store where you line up and get food, we are a hub for creative thinking,” Cruz said. Cruz cultivates a space for “cre ative thinking” through the arts displayed in the restaurant. Ta cos and Tattoos plays music from diverse and vibrant latin artists and lines their walls with artwork from local artists and graphic de signers. Cruz considers the food, just as much the atmosphere, to be part of this creative cultural experience, referring to the food as “edible art.” “These freshmen, when they taste our food and they go back home to wherever it is they live, they are going to take home a piece of Miami with them,” Cruz said. “Not just the university, but the food that came from here.”
“I think people are going to love the food, you cannot go wrong, there are so many delicious things and it is different from what the university is already offering, so I think we are going to make an impact,” said general manager of hospitality Piero Tijero.

A student favorite, The Corner Deli, will be moving next to the Starbucks in The Shalala Center to prevent line fow issues within The Market. It will replace YoKai Ramen Noodles which has found a new home within the Hurricane Food Court. Addi tionally, the now-vacant Market space will be utilized to house the many new vending machine partnerships UM has made. “With the relocation of Corner Deli, we thought why not auto mate with the use of technology our Market for 24/7 offerings. That space will now offer Mi sha’s Cupcakes, Yo-Kai Ramen Noodle and the new Costa Cof fee – all via vended solutions,” saidTheAlvarez.fnalmajor change to UM Dining comes with the introduc tion of the Insta-Market. The chashless, staffess, vending ma chine hub will be open to stu dents 24/7 and feature the frst Coca Cola unattended retail solu tion in Florida. This digitized approach by UM is targeted towards the growing number of commuter students on campus who are in need of more snack style, quick dining options for long days on campus without a dorm to return to. “It was important for us to have a retail focus so that commuters would want to remain on cam pus,” said Alvarez. “So having some of these spaces more attrac tive late at night and comfortable where they feel safe, secure, they can stick around, and that there’s something for them to eat.”
Although Tacos and Tattoos is the only new sitdown style res taurant opening on UM’s campus this fall, there are a variety of new vending machine options for students to enjoy. A few dinning options have also been relocated on campus.
The newly opened Tacos & Tattoos on UM’s campus ofers a wide variety of Latin and Carribean foods.

“The biggest impact that it had on, not only the county but the univer sity and individuals like me, is we take hurricanes seriously,” Thomp son said. “Pre Andrew, it seemed to me nobody paid any attention to what was happening during hurri cane season.” In the southern part of the county, the scene was radically different.
Andrew blew through the campus at 144 mph, beginning around mid night of the 24th and fnishing at 7 a.m the same day. Marc Caputo, a 1995 graduate of UM, was among the students shel tering. The university moved him and other students to the third and fourth foors of the now demolished Hecht Residential College. “The storm was really howling,” Caputo said. “You could feel the building move.” Caputo and his fellow residents f nally emerged from the building the following day. “It was just a different world at that point,” Caputo said. The university sustained 13.5 million USD of damage, mostly to its trees, many of which the storm blewWithdown.little electricity, concerns about running water and limited food available, the university en couraged students to fy home by discounting the cost of Delta, American and United fights from the following semester’s tuition.
“When you see these news clips where a tornado hits or even a hur ricane hits, it shows you how bad it is. But usually it’s just a snapshot of a limited area,” Simon said. “Here, there’s complete devastation going over almost a half of the county.”
“The mammals that are being lost were an important part of the food web of the Everglades for thou sands of years,” said Christopher Searcy, a biology professor at UM with expertise in conservation ecol ogy for reptiles and amphibians.
Lessons from loss: 30 years afer Hurricane Andrew
Thompson remembers hearing of looting in Homestead, the more heavily damaged southern part of the county. Blocked roads aggra vated the issue, creating a tempo rary feeling of anarchy as public services could not reach the area.
“Seeing mile after mile after mile, community after community after community of damage. It was just overwhelming,” Simon said.
The hurricane destroyed 25,524 Miami-Dade homes, leaving 250,000 homeless. Of those who lost their homes or needed support, 435 were UM faculty and staff.
A burmese python breeding facil ity near the Everglades was among the affected buildings. With walls blown to the ground, non-native py thons escaped into the Everglades, initiating a now decades-old threat to the biodiversity of South Florida.
“We’ve disrupted that and it’s not clear that we’re ever going to be able to fx it.”
Whitely and Thompson laud ed then university president Tad Foote’s response. “He did an amazing, amazing job and he should be credited for really getting this place back,” Whitely said.Whitely recounted daily morning meetings between Foote and the faculty at the law school library as the university got back on its feet.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew, the university realized it needed to plan for future hurricanes to avoid the kind of chaos that oc curred in the subsequent weeks.
Since the future of hurricanes is so unpredictable, the best residents can do is prepare. According to the Offce of Emergency Management, students and other residents can develop a family emergency plan, build a kit of essentials and stay in formed on potential hurricanes.
Now, hurricane awareness is a key part of students’ introduction to the university and there is a set action plan in place in the event of another hurricane. This includes mandatory evacuation procedures if the hur ricane exceeds a category two and an established university shelter for students who may be unable to re turnThehome.university also maintains the Offce of Emergency Management. Created in 2010, the offce helps prepare the university for a myr iad of disasters, hurricanes being among the most pertinent.
In the aftermath of the storm, the school closed from August 28th to September 14th, delaying the start of classes by three weeks and changing fnals’ schedules so that students took exams in class instead of during fnals week. Even once students returned, the remnants of Hurricane Andrew lin gered.Onthe way to class, Caputo would hear parrots squawking in the trees by the Ashe building, escapees of Parrot Jungle which Hurricane An drew destroyed. He estimates that the university had returned to nor malcy a year later.

He returned after Hurricane An drew to fnd that it was gone. “800 units completely wiped off of God’s green Earth,” Simon said. “We went to, physically, where it was and it was gone.” In the week following Hurricane Andrew, Simon received the op portunity to survey the damage to Miami-Dade county in a helicopter tour alongside four CEOs of the top insurance companies in the country.
Shoddy building practices accen tuated the disparity in the county. Buildings near Homestead were much newer, making them more vulnerable to the force of Hurricane Andrew. In the following years, legislators updated building codes to be much stricter. Insurance discounts incentivized residents to retroft their homes with hurricane windows and incor porate other structural support.
For the frst three weeks after Hurricane Andrew, there was no electricity in Miami-Dade County (MDC). In the northern part of the county, buildings remained mostly intact, but trees laid across roads and yards, blocking emergency ve hicles, repair services and pedestri ans.In the southern part, some houses only retained a single wall. Others completely blew away. At the time, it was the most expensive hurricane in US history, totalling 27 billion United States Dollars (USD) in damages, 57 billion USD in today’s dollars.August 24th marks the 30th an niversary of the category fve hur ricane whose eye blew through the south of MDC before continu ing West. The storm touched all of MDC, including the University of Miami.Sylvia Thompson, a political sci ence professor at UM, describes it as “the best of times” and “the worst of times.” She remembers her elderly neighbors in South Miami acting as crossing guards when the stoplights didn’t work due to power outages. Neighbors would fetch water for them. Where Thompson lived, closer to the university, there was minimal property damage, but many of the area’s iconic centuries-old trees lay on the “Youground.couldactually drive through areas where you would think ‘where am I?’ because a lot of the landmarks were gone,” Thompson said, referring to the fallen trees. She never expected the violent nature of the storm. The last cat egory four hurricane to hit Miami occurred 42 years ago in 1950. The last category fve was nearly 60 years“Weago.were lulled into a sense of feeling safe,” Thompson said. At UM, too, students and faculty didn’t expect the storm’s violence. While some evacuated, thousands of students and faculty sheltered in Stanford, Mahoney, Pearson, Eaton and Hecht residential colleges. “I don’t think we had any indica tion even fve days out that it could hit us in the way that it did,” said Patricia Whitely, senior vice presi dent for student affairs who was the associate director for residential life and staff development at the time.
Arthur Simon, a political science professor at UM, recalls Country Walk, a community close to the Ev erglades and south of the university. He used to campaign at a mobilehome park there during his time as a state legislator, going door to door seeking out votes.

“Now, hurricane awareness is a key part of student’s introduction to the university.”
Miami’s weather, attractions and nightlife attract people from all over the world all year round and the city relies on tourism for billions of dollars in revenue. While tourists may not be aware of traps set to drain their wallets, Miami locals know where to avoid and where to go for a better, less expensive expe rience. Here are some of the Mi ami tourist traps to steer clear of and their better counterparts: South Beach For those who enjoy the beach, South Beach seems like the natu ral place to go in Miami. After all, it is probably the most iconic burrow of Miami, frequently mentioned in popular songs and endorsed by celebrities. However, all beaches are not created equal. Because of its popularity, South Beach is of ten overcrowded and flled with overpriced food, drink and sou venirs. Better options include South Pointe Park and Key Bis cayne, which are more accessible and far less crowded. For a lowcost commute to Key Biscayne, utilize your UM student privileg es and hop on the shuttle to the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences.
Ocean Drive Located in South Beach, Mi ami’s Ocean Drive is known for its Art Deco architecture, beach views, fne dining and vibrant nightlife. However, several res taurants on the street are known for scamming customers, and the area has been more recently labeled as unsafe and crime-rid den.Other famous streets that ri val Ocean Drive’s architecture and attractions include Miracle Mile, Calle Ocho and Flagler Street. Between these three and many more, there is no doubt that you’ll fnd something for you.
Bus Tours Riding in a double decker bus does sound like fun, but taking a bus tour is unnecessary when you live so close to walkable downtown Miami! To look like a true local and not a tourist, ex plore Miami using the Metrorail, a rideshare service or good, oldfashioned walking. After all, the best sightseeing won’t happen on a guided tour, but on your own personalized adventures through the city. Bayside Marketplace Conveniently located next to FTX Arena, the home of the Miami Heat and major concert venue, Bayside Marketplace has lured in tourists and locals alike for its parking amenities and a pre-show meal. Location is all Bayside Marketplace has going for itself however, as the res taurants are either overpriced or would be better located in a strip mall. To accompany the dull eat eries and outdated storefronts is a walk of tourist shame through individual vendors selling unnec essary knick knacks. If visiting FTX, eat before making the drive over, or bite the bullet and just pay for the undeservingly expen sive burger meal.

Miami Seaquarium Animals in captivity? No thanks. Controversy over its live shows and animal encounters have peo ple feeling sad when they leave instead of the fun experience that its website promotes. Instead head to the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Sci ence, which has admission of $30 compared to the Seaquarium’s $50, as well as a wide variety of attractions between its aquarium, planetarium and science exhi bitions. Furthemore, its close proximity to Perez Art Museum Miami and Bayside Marketplace make the Frost Museum an ideal addition to a fun day out. Luxury Hotels While Miami has a plethora of high-end hotels, their price point can be far out of reach, especially for the average college student. For a luxury weekend getaway, try browsing Airbnb or an apart ment rental, both of which will still offer amazing views and amenities at a much lower cost.

Now, as recipients of this award, they are using the funds to expand their project, the 305 Give Back Drive, which provides school supplies to the local com munity.“Aswe were more looking into it and creating new things, it seemed like more and more of a good opportunity,” Calixte said. “And then randomly on June 1, I think, we got a letter to our email and it was like congratulations for all your hard work, the University of Miami wants to provide you with I think it was a $2000 grant, which is even more than we asked for which is great.”
A big change lies in the new executive board created to assist Acosta and Calixte with the dayto-day operations of the drive.

In what often feels like an in creasingly competitive job mar ket, college students may feel in creasing pressure to supplement their resumes and internships are a popular choice. While there are countless considerations to take into account when applying for internships, for a lot of us, an un paid position is a dealbreaker.

HURRICANE
Like many of my peers, the bulk of money I use to survive dur ing the school year comes from working full-time in the summer to make up for my lower income when classes are in session. If I had not been fortunate enough to land a good paid internship this summer, I would have been right back at the summer job I’ve had since I was 15. That job is not a resume-booster, but it provides adequate pay.
College sophomores and ju niors feel overwhelming pressure to get summer internships and get ahead in their respective felds, but there are a whole slew of po sitions that many students do not even apply for due to the fact that they cannot afford to work for three months without pay. Not only do the “opportunities” of unpaid internships exploit green employees’ labor, they also perpetuate a system that favors economic privilege and social class when hiring for positions that should be based on talent and interest.TheU.S.
Department of Labor (DOL) established requirements for unpaid internships under the Fair Labor Standards Act follow ing what they call the “primary benefciary test.” This test is meant to determine whether the interns or employers are the main benefciaries of the relationship. If it’s the former, the DOL would allow the lack of compensation. While this test protects interns to a certain degree, many of its facets are subjective. The DOL even says on its website that it is “a fexible test and no single factor is determinative,” which leaves opportunity for employers to take advantage of interns. Some argue that these intern ships show who will really be capable in a work environment or who “wants it” badly enough, even if some might fnancially jeopardize themselves by incur ring the cost of working in an un paid position.

A study conducted by George town University’s Center on Ed ucation and the Workforce shows that 70% of college students are in the same boat, juggling work ing with full-time school. When summer comes around, many are faced with a diffcult decision: should they choose a job that pays well or give in to intense pressure to get off-campus pro fessional experience that may not provide a salary?
In March 2021, National Foot ball League (NFL) reporter Jane Slater faced backlash when she posted “an opportunity for an un paid“Thereinternship.”isareason not everyone makes it in this business,” Slater said on Twitter. “I don’t have time for those of you who don’t understand grind.”

ing. Those cam afford to apply for and take unpaid positions are often catapulted ahead of those who have to opt for paying summer jobs. Those who have an unpaid internship on their resume or the portfolio and recommendations that may accompany it, have an upper hand when applying for paid or full-time positions. Because so many career sectors are highly competitive, students tend to chase any opportunity they can to bolster their resume. However, seizing these opportunities can cost some students more than the benefits the internships provide. We often hear these days that “everyone’s hiring” but most of the jobs available are not often the desirable positions that students hope to pursue. According to an analysis done by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, as of March 2022, 41.4% of recent college graduates held jobs that don’t require a degree. To get the post-graduation jobs that students want, work experience in that sector is often a must. The head of the Ford Foundation, one of the world’s largest charitable institutions, has recognized the problem and said that privilege passes down, growing on previous privilege and working against students from lower-class backgrounds. Even when financials are put aside, some students still have advantages — in the form of parental or social connections — over others when it comes to securing sought-after internships. The same CCWT study reported that 53% of all student internships in 2020 were obtained through personalTherenetworks.isacycle of inequality in our society that is perpetuated in numerous ways but the wealth disparity that is prominent in corporate and leadership positions can be somewhat simply mended by eliminating unpaid internships and opening those opportunities to less privileged applicants. Employers should also take the care to screen applicants for strong academic performance and interest in both the program and that career path to find the interns suited for their companies. Doing this would not only benefit the students hired, but also would benefit the employer as well. They might find interns bringing more to the table than just coffee.

There are not many quarter backs in college football that were as good as Miami quarter back Tyler Van Dyke was in his fnal six games last season. In that second-half stretch, the 6-foot-4 signal-caller threw for 2,194 yards and 20 touchdowns, tossing only three interceptions in the process. This was also Miami’s best six-game period of the year, as the Hurricanes com piled a 5-1 record.

The quarterback agrees with his new head coach’s assessment of where he’s gotten better. “Understanding what the de fense is doing, really fnding the blitzes and checking, making sure I’m protected and under standing where they’re rotating and where I have to go with the football,” Van Dyke said regard ing what he feels like he has im proved.

Tyler’s defnitely im proved … not only as a quarter back and a leader, which is huge,” Garcia said. “That’s something that we need on both offense and defense and just overall as a team … Last year [Van Dyke] showed that he was a leader and I think that this year he’s com ing back and reestablishing that he’s a leader also this following year.” These leadership abilities of Van Dyke also play a crucial role in integrating the rest of Miami’s offense in line with new offen sive coordinator Josh Gattis’s system. Gattis, who was previously the play caller at Michigan, brings an intricate offensive scheme to UM that helped the Wolverines reach the College Football Play off for the frst time in program history in 2021. For his work, the former Alabama coach won the Broyles Award, given to the top assistant in the nation.
Van Dyke has not allowed the attention to get in his head and has continued perfecting his craft, as head coach Mario Cris tobal has noticed the returning starter’s improvement. “He understands the ball … not every quarterback understands protections and what comes with it and how to get yourself in a good one and out of a bad one,” Cristobal said regarding Van Dyke. “He does. He under stands leverage. He understands disguised coverages. He’s really good, really really good at pre to post-snap coverage and be ing able to make a decision. This guy, he’s special.”
The third-year sophomore en ters the 2022 season with high expectations. Action Network gives him the 10th-best pre season odds to win the coveted Heisman Trophy, ranking sixth among all quarterbacks.
While Van Dyke has made progress within his game and ability to read defenses on the feld, he has also remained and advanced as a leader for the Hur ricanes, as redshirt freshman and fellow quarterback Jake Garcia noted.“Ithink

2022 Fall Sports: Home games you won’t want to miss
One of college football’s big gest rivalry games is back in the 305. A crushing loss to the Semi noles in Tallahassee last season, which ended with a Florida State game-winning drive after con verting on fourth and 14 with un der a minute to go, has left Miami hungry for revenge. After the loss, former Hurri canes head coach Manny Diaz said, “it’s another classic MiamiFlorida State game.” That’s certainly the truth. Throughout both teams’ storied rivalry, the ‘Canes have faced the Seminoles 66 times since their frst matchup on October 5, 1951 — and every game since, there’s never a shortage of nail-bitingchaos.Miami and Florida State have squared off 14 times when ranked in the top ten. And with the game on the line, there have been sev eral notable missed feld goals, including one in 1991 that gave No. 2 Miami a one-point victory over top-ranked Florida State. This series is competitive, with Miami barely holding on to a 3531 head-to-head advantage.
Mario Cristobal, who was an offensive lineman for the ‘Canes in the 1990s, will be on the other side of the FSU rivalry as Mi ami’s head coach for the frst time this“Toyear.me, personally, that was always the greatest rivalry in sports,” he said on Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Media Day in July. “The intensity, the caliber of play, the physicality, and of course the dramatic turns of those games were incredible.”

Since the University of Miami’s founding in 1925, countless mo ments have defned Hurricane athletics, thrusting “the U” into the national spotlight in less than a century. Just think back to ‘Canes football’s slew of national championships in the 1980s, or, more recently, men’s basket ball’s historic Elite Eight run as a 10 seed in last year’s National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) tournament.
While these are the most highly anticipated matchups this fall, the ACC always features great com petition. If you have the time, here’s a quick list of other home games that won’t disappoint: 2021 ACC champion Pittsburgh vs. Miami (football), Wake For est vs. Miami (Volleyball) and Florida State vs. Miami (Soccer). These games are why it’s great to be a Miami Hurricane. This fall, make sure to bring the en ergy and support your fellow ‘Canes.
“I know we’re going to grow from this experience,” head coach Jose Gendara said after Miami’s season-ending loss. “I’m proud of this team and we have a handful of players returning … to get here today is a great opportu nity for our program and a great chance to grow moving forward.”

The Hurricanes, on the other hand, are just outside the top 25, with the second most votes to en ter the rankings. Still, Miami is a threat to the Cardinals, as it is just one year removed from a spectac ular season that ended in a top-25 fnish. In 2021, the Canes jumped out to an early 9-1 record, their best start since 2017, and did not let up, posting their frst top-25win season since 2012 before falling to 16th ranked University of Florida in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
A tradition is over: Miami football cuts the turnover chain
Recent statistics also do not help the cause of keeping the turnover chain. On3 analyst J.D. Pickell explains, “If you look at Miami’s defense since the turnover chain’s birth in 2017, it has been a steady decline. They had 31 turnovers that they forced in 2017; they had 11 turnovers forced last season.” Even though the chain brought fun to the Cane game atmosphere, it is clear that coach Cristobal wants his team focused on only one thing, winning. With the offseason look ing promising, there is hope that the excitement that came from the chain can now come from winning games for Canes fans.
Miami Hurricanes football head coach Mario Cristobal announced on Thursday, July 21 that the fa mous turnover chain will no longer be a part of the program. The turnover chain, a staple part of the Miami defense for the past fve years, was worn by a defensive player that had forced a turnover the previous play. However, after an un derwhelming 2021 season and the transition to a new head coach, the chain is set to be retired. “We just really focus on getting better as a program and have fo cused on technique, fundamentals, regimentation, academics, strength and conditioning, sports science, community service and that’s what the focus has been on,” Cristobal said during Miami’s Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) media day last Thursday.
ESPN reporter, Paul Newberry, wrote in his analysis of the game that, “Nothing went right for the Hurricanes, who even wound up looking foolish for handing out their sparkling gold turnover chain after an apparent fumble recovery.”
The 2017 turnover chain accom panied a ten game win streak get ting both players and fans excited about the potential for turnover celebrations. In a 41-8 domination over No. 11 ranked Notre Dame that season, Miami had three intercep tions prompting celebration among players and fans. “It’s a tremendous win,” said Sha quille Quarterman, former Miami linebacker and current Jacksonville Jaguar. “It’s a tremendous moment.” The following season against rival Florida State, multiple turnovers were able to generate a comeback from being down 7-27 to fnish the game, winning 28-27. The turn over chain celebrations brought the crowd back into the game, disrupt ing Florida State’s momentum.

UM was the frst university to have something of its kind and quickly became a symbol of UM football success.“Itisnot a shot or form of dis respect to anybody or anyone. Certainly history is history, and whether it’s positive, whether it’s in consequential, whatever it may be, it’s still history and part of your pro gram. We’re just moving in a direc tion that right now doesn’t involve it. That’s really the best way to ad dress it,” said Cristobal.

Up next, the Hurricanes travel to Boca Raton, Fla. to take on Florida Atlantic University on Thursday at 7 p.m. “This should give team confdence that they can compete and that they have the ability to perform on both sides of the ball. They’re ready to take the next step and be a team that has a national pres ence,” Barnes added, “My feeling is that this weekend should be the frst step to wards that.”
However, with these moments of triumph came moments of awk wardness as the team failed to capi talize on their turnovers in more re cent seasons. In their 2021 season debut against University of Alabama, the Crim son Tide was dominating 41-10 in the 3rd quarter when a fumble by quarterback Bryce Young produced a Miami turnover. Kam Kitchens, who forced the fumble, celebrated with the chain almost immediately after the turnover.
“It just took a spark,” Richt said. “And before you knew it, that spark turned into a fame.”
‘Canes score f rst victory of season versus Alabama
BY JENNA ROTHENSTEIN SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER BY ZACHARY MACER SPORTS WRITER
After the University of Miami women’s soccer team opened its season with a draw against Mississippi State, it earned its frst victory of the 2022 season against Alabama on Sunday at Cobb Stadium. The Crimson Tide controlled the early minutes of the game, which forced Miami to pick it up and apply more pressure. “The team was really tough,” Miami head coach Sarah Barnes said. “We talked for a long time about being relentless and I thought the effort and energy from every person on the team made the difference today.”Thegame was extremely tight until red shirt freshman Megan Morgan launched the ball into the bottom left post for her frst career goal, giving Miami the 1-0 lead.“It was just a rush of adrenaline,” Mor gan said. “To score the frst goal in this game, it kickstarts our whole season. I’m just glad to contribute to it” Morgan’s incredible fnish in the frst half was enough to solidify the win for UM. as senior goalkeeper Melissa Dage nais led the Hurricanes to their second straight clean sheet. “We played with lots of energy,” junior midfelder Julia Edwards said. “We had the grit and relentlessness to fnish the game all the way through, which is some thing we’ve talked a lot about.”
The chain came into fruition in 2017 with former defensive coor dinator Manny Diaz. In the fourth quarter of their frst game, an inter ception by defensive back Malek Young allowed Diaz to unveil the 36-inch, 5.5 pound, 10-karat gold Cuban link turnover chain. “We’re just trying to motivate. It’s crazy what motivates them. Even the decals we put on our helmets, they cost maybe 15 cents apiece, but they like them. They like to get them on their hat,” former Hurricanes head coach Mark Richt said.
