STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI IN CORAL GABLES, FLORIDA, SINCE 1929
In terms of inclusiveness, I think UM is like those partitioned Styrofoam plates. You get a little bit of everything,
but they don’t touch – SENIOR MISCHAEL CETOUTE
Remedying race relations Campus weighs in on inclusivity, diversity BY LYSSA GOLDBERG ONLINE EDITOR
Junior Klaudius Maynard grew up in the U.S. Virgin Islands, a territory with a predominantly black population. There, Maynard was always surrounded by people who look like him and, therefore, unable to experience much diversity. He transferred to the University of Miami looking for just that. By the end of his first semester, however, Maynard noticed
he had naturally gravitated toward other students from the Caribbean – his first group of friends was from the Bahamas, Trinidad and Tobago, and Jamaica. “When you get here, you realize that, for the most part, the whites still kind of hang together, the blacks still kind of hang together,” he said. Senior Mischael Cetoute said the inclusiveness of other races and ethnicities on UM’s campus works like a partitioned styrofoam plate. “You get a little bit of everything, but they don’t touch,” he said.
Cetoute sits on the Task Force to Address Black Students’ Concerns, which was assembled this spring. It consists of 10 student leaders and 14 faculty members, and is divided into subgroups to address five issues: the climate for black students on campus, enrollment and retention of black students, programming for diversity and inclusion, sensitivity and inclusivity training, and recruitment of black faculty. In addition to the task force, other areas of campus have recently brought attention to the topic of race. On Wednesday night, the Know Justice, Know Peace symposium on race, policing and social justice
featured Trayvon Martin’s mother, Sybrina Fulton, Johnetta Elzie of The Ferguson Protestor Newsletter and other leaders in the areas of race and justice. The Intercollegiate Debate Team has also been holding a series of community discussions on race, with topics of debate including whether affirmative action is necessary. “We thought that race would be a good topic because it’s current, it’s relevant, it gets people talking, and there’s differing opinions on it,” said junior Renee Reneau, who joined debate her freshman year.

RACIAL INTERACTION FROM COVER
Groups strive to unite community despite differences DIVERSITY AND INCLUSIVENESS The University of Miami is consistently ranked one of the top schools for diversity in the country. In this year’s undergraduate class, minorities make up the majority, while 49 percent of all undergraduates are white, according to the Fall 2014 UM Fact Book. Over the past four years, the number of black freshmen entering the university has grown by 26 percent, and the Asian/Pacific Islander population has grown by 42 percent, according to the Fact Book. In an online survey of 215 students by The Miami Hurricane, 70 percent of respondents said they interact often with people of other racial or ethnic backgrounds in the classroom. The survey showed this is more than they interact with one another in clubs, at events on campus, or within their own groups of friends. Senior Elaine Golden, who was inGOLDEN volved with the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs’ UNITY Roundtable last fall, said she thinks most UM students regularly interact with people from different racial
and ethnic backgrounds during their time at this university. However, she explained that those interactions aren’t necessarily indicative of deep, meaningful connections. “If you ask fellow students to think of their two closest friends here, those individuals would most likely be of a similar background to the person answering,” she said. Reneau said that in the city of Miami, special attention is given to ethnic background. It’s common to meet people and ask where their parents are from, which is essentially a question about ethnicity, she added. “I think it’s more important to ask, ‘Where are you from as a person? Where did you grow up? What kind of environment do you come from?” she said. SEPARATE STUDENT GROUPS The National Survey of Student Engagement showed that, in 2013, white and international students at universities across the nation were less likely than Asian, black, or Hispanic and Latino students to have discussions with people of another race or ethnicity. UM is currently gathering student responses to the NSSE for 2015. Cetoute said that he sees black student life as distinct from the rest of the UM popu-
lation — but it’s not because of any desire for isolation. People of like interests tend to associate with each other, he explained. “A lot of the black students on campus are first generation or come from households that aren’t wealthy, and so things like going out to South Beach every CETOUTE weekend are not feasible,” Cetoute said. “Your freshman year, you quickly make friends with people who like doing the same things as you, and once you leave the sort of forced interactions of the towers, you end up surrounded with people who look and think like you.” Reneau agreed that, while she loves learning about other people’s cultures, she understands the hesitation in becoming friends with people of another race. For instance, she’d like to join United Black Students (UBS) but has felt tentative about it. (UBS emphasizes that its members can come from any background.) “I’d like to be more involved with it, but there is something in me that says like, ‘I don’t know, I’m not black, so maybe I can’t participate as much,” she said.
UBS President TeQuan Taylor, who also sits on the task force, said he thinks that students of different races are most likely to interact with each other in a structured environment, like the classroom. At campus events, however, Taylor feels students choose to attend with friends who are like them. Sophomore Marcus Lim, vice president of the Council of International Students and Organizations (COISO), said that when the Chinese Students and Scholars Association hosts a cultural event, for example, he’d estimate about 95 percent of people who attend are Chinese. He thinks the other 5 percent attend to explore. “They’re just there to culturally immerse themselves,” Lim said. “It’s quite rare for a different nationality to go to [another] nationality and form really strong TEQUAN friendships.” Taylor, an international studies major, thinks cross-cultural interactions within one’s own student organization is the exception to the rule.

CAMPUS LIFE
Racial tensions still exist in South Africa despite Mandela Country closer to Mandela’s vision today but far from goal BY HAYNES STEPHENS CONTRIBUTING NEWS WRITER
Carla Botha, a junior transfer student at UM, grew up in the northern province of Limpopo, South Africa. She and her family later moved to the city of Johannesburg before she came to live in the United States in 2009. She is 32 years old and as a child, she said, she witnessed the end of apartheid. She described her family as “white, middle-class South African citizens with all the middle class privileges” but mentioned that hers is not the average situation. “We think everybody’s equal but everybody’s not equal,” Botha said. “We have running water at the house but the people in the townships, they don’t necessarily have running water and they don’t necessarily have electricity. There’s still a huge difference between even just middle class and poor. I’m not even talking about rich.” On Tuesday, Wilmot James, a South African parliament member and a federal chairperson of the Democratic Alliance Party, spoke to UM students about Nelson Mandela’s “unfinished business” and the current circumstances in South Africa. Mandela was a member of the African National Congress, South Africa’s current governing social democratic political party. He fought for the rights of black people in South Africa and for the end of apartheid, a system of racial segregation in the country. Mandela became the first democratically elected president of South Africa in 1994 at the age of 75. James said that Mandela had a vision and a dream that South Africans would live in peace and be equal before the law, but in present day South Africa “Mandela’s dream remains unfulfilled.” “Black entrepreneurship is a scare commodity in our country,” he said.

He also discussed the negative stigma attached to the success of black South Africans. “There’s this culture that’s emerged where anybody who succeeds in the black community must have done something wrong,” James said. “That really sets people back in terms of attitude and so on. They don’t want to succeed. If they succeed they don’t want to be noticed. So they’re not good role
models for that.” South Africa also has a major issue with economic disparity within racial backgrounds, James said, mainly between the very rich and very poor black citizens. The situation involving complete racial equality in South Africa, they both agreed, has not been resolved. “There’s a sense in which things are infinitely better today compared to the apartheid years in terms of access to justice and freedom that we do have and is constitutionally protected,” James said. “The Constitution of South Africa is a very good document, but it has to be brought to life by the contact of citizens.” Botha shared similar sentiments and compared South Africa to the U.S. in the years immediately following the Civil Rights Movement. “It’s 20 years later and it’s still very racist,” Botha said. “South Africans are in those beginning years where things are still turbulent and people are still unhappy and things are not going well.” Even though no one is forced to live anywhere based on their race, Botha said that blacks and whites often separate from each other due to cultural differences. “It’s not necessarily something you can just change or bring together and now everybody’s one big happy family,” she said. “It’s a tough situation” Botha also pointed out that racism in South Africa affected whites as well. She says that soon after Mandela took office, her father lost his job and struggled to find another “because he was a white male, and white males were seen

as the enemy because it was the white males that put Mandela in jail back then.” James denounced this form of racial retaliation and said that it was not a part of Mandela’s vision. “The idea that white is evil and black is good is a derivative abomination that locks out a future made together in a land that belongs to all who live in it,” he said. “There’s a lot that we can do in order to make a difference to people’s lives, we just need to keep on working at it. I’m quite hopeful actually.” Botha, who taught primary school in South Africa, shared similar sentiments. “I see the kids playing now and they don’t see color,” she said. “Friends are friends: black, white, purple or pink.” She thinks that those kids are part of the generation that won’t care about race. “It’s just gonna be like, ‘yeah, we all live together, and that’s the way it is,’” she said.

RACIAL INTERACTION FROM PAGE 2
Bridging gap between races, ethnicities “Being in the org suite [in the Student Activities Center] on an almost daily basis, I see a lot of the interaction that takes place,” he said. “While a lot of the interaction does fall along racial or ethnic lines, I will say that I see a good amount of variation in terms of who is interacting with whom.” Golden and Maynard said they have found a diverse group of friends through their involvement in the STRIVE service learning group and Debate Team, respectively. ASSEMBLY OF THE TASK FORCE UM President Donna E. Shalala called for the creation of the Task Force to Address Black Students’ Concerns in response to the negative reactions to a peaceful Black Lives Matter protest last fall. Vice Provost for Academic Affairs Brian Blake, who is leading the task force, said the group is attempting to evaluate what the university is doing with regards to climate and recruitment. Then, they will compare UM’s efforts to similar universities, including Emory, University of Southern California and Vanderbilt. “They really just want to get a sense of the community and, ‘How diverse is it?” he said. “They’re going to do some benchmarks against other institutions and try to get an understanding of what the community really should look like.” According to Blake, the task force is trying to determine whether the amount of programming for diversity-related activities on campus is adequate for the UM community. While about half of student respondents to The Miami Hurricane’s survey said UM’s encouragement of contact among students from different backgrounds is “about right,” 42 percent thought the university is doing too little. Blake said he expects the task force will find that the black student population in particular faces acute challenges, but these may translate to the broader community. BROADER COMMUNITY Lim, who came to UM from Singapore, said he thinks the campus is receptive and students are friendly, but he explained that international students also face subtle forms of racism. For example, classmates may alienate a Chinese student in a group project because of a potential language barrier. 4

“It’s not on purpose — it’s completely accidental. It’s just that the Chinese person can’t really communicate with them, and that’s the basis of forming friendships and being receptive,” he said. International students comprise 14 percent of the undergraduate student body at UM. China is the best represented country, with 972 students, according to the Office of Admission website. Lim said that when he first heard about the task force, he was glad that the university would respond to the black students’ situation, but at the same time, he wondered, “Why stop at black students?” “If you’re targeting minorities, the entire international population at the University of Miami is considered a minority already,” Lim said. Blake said that, for now, the task force remains focused on the concerns of black students. “The group was pretty adamant about focusing in on the black community, but they also recognize that by focusing in on this community, it doesn’t limit the recommendations from being broader,” Blake said. Lim said he acknowledges the immediate need for attention to black students’ concerns. Cetoute, a political science and Africana studies double major, gave an example of a personal experience with racism in the classroom his freshman year. Before he started wearing business casual attire around campus every day, Cetoute’s professors would often mistake him for a football player, he said. “It made me feel like the only black men at this university who belonged here were not here for academics,” he said. Maynard said he sees the value in considering the climate for other minority groups on campus. “When it’s portrayed as a black and white issue, it becomes a linear conversation,” he said. IMPLEMENTING SOLUTIONS The Task Force to Address Black Students’ Concerns is charged with issuing a report with recommendations by May 15, and according to Blake, President Shalala has expressed her commitment to setting some of those recommendations in motion before she steps down. According to Cetoute, the task force is looking at ways UM can foster meaningful

Golden, an international studies major, suggested that UM could better promote inclusiveness by fostering more programming between special interest clubs and cultural organizations, she said. “While we cannot – and should not – simply tell people who they should be friends with, we can promote campus social structures that help break down barriers to inclusiveness,” she said.

Extend yourself beyond cultural boundaries Next week, the UC Patio will showcase a variety of cultural celebrations for International Week, an annual event hosted by the Council of International Students and Organizations (COISO). International Week, or I-Week, is one of many university-sponsored programs that encourage multicultural exposure on campus. I-Week will bring students together to the patio with lively music, exciting performances and, of course, free food. But after the week is over, and after the tents have disappeared, will the students walk away with a lasting appreciation and interest in other cultures, ethnicities and races? There’s no question that the university’s administration and student organizations make deliberate efforts to celebrate diversity through well-publicized programs such as IWeek, Multicultural Week, Black Awareness Month and Cuban Heritage Week. Despite these events, less attention has been directed toward facilitating ground-level intermingling among student groups.
Though the Hurricane’s survey results reveal moderate intermingling between students, the personal testimonies featured in this issue show that meaningful friendships and interactions between racial groups are still lacking. Who is then responsible for bridging the gap between learning and daily practice? Institutional measures can only direct the student mindset so far. Students still need to proactively form connections with their peers and break down barriers to meaningful interactions. One such barrier is the tendency for students of the same racial and ethnic backgrounds to stick together. This grouping behavior not only insulates students and discourages branching out to others, but also intimidates individuals outside of the group who do not share common racial and ethnic threads. Making social inroads as an obvious outsider is difficult. One-on-one interactions between students may be better suited for making
diverse connections less influenced by racial differences. The closeness of residential life on campus can facilitate these interactions – if students take advantage of the environment. Living on campus may be one of the only times that we will be surrounded by such a diverse group of individuals and opportunities to intermingle with other peers, as long as we keep our eyes peeled. Common ground provides substance to any relationship, and often the most visible commonality influences our behaviors more than they should. However, when personal interactions and interest-based activities reveal that we do have significant common foundations with people who look different from us, it becomes easier to build strong and sustainable connections that are blind to racial lines.

Shift budget surplus from education to health care n January, Governor Rick Scott released his plan to spend Florida’s billion dollar surplus. His budget proposal includes certain sales tax cuts, increased education spending per student and more funds for the Bright Futures scholarship. One thing that Scott wholly ignored was health care funding for hospitals. Much of the funding for hospitals is coming from the federal government’s Low Income Pool (LIP) program, which is part of the Affordable Care Act. That funding is set to expire in June, however, ANNIE meaning that Florida hospitals that serve low-income CAPPETTA individuals will lose $1.3 billion this year. POLITICS COLUMNIST This has sparked unusual conflict between the legislative chambers and the governor’s office, despite all three being controlled by Republicans. The House backs Scott’s proposed budget and retains his tax cuts and most of the education spending. The Senate, on the other hand, chose to be more cautious by allocating state funds to hospitals to make up for the lost federal LIP funding. The House needs to skip its own plan and pass the Senate’s budget. Scott’s plan is centered on the idea of spending a record-breaking $7,176 per student in the state. The House’s figure is slightly lower, but still record-breaking. What most people are ignoring is that the Senate’s plan still spends $7,123 per student. That $53 difference will likely not be a difference felt by Florida families. The only reason the Senate’s figure isn’t to Scott’s liking is that it’s not technically breaking per-student spending records for the state, and Scott likes to tout his education agenda. He can make an appealing ad-
MANAGING NEWS EDITOR Erika Glass
dition to his list of talking points by having this “record-breaking” figure under his belt. This controversy is more about improving Scott’s public image than it is about genuinely improving the lives of Florida’s students. The kind of spending that actually would impact Floridians’ lives is the health care spending included in the Senate budget. According to a March story published in the Associated Press, Florida has the most uninsured residents and is second only to Texas. More barriers to health care and millions of dollars in losses for hospitals will have a huge detrimental impact on Florida’s most vulnerable individuals. How is Scott getting away with continually rejecting health care spending? Because there is no political capital lost if he elects not to help lower individual health care costs. Mounting evidence shows that Americans don’t realize the current slowdown of health care costs. Though overall health care costs are growing at their slowest rates ever, the spiking costs of drugs leave Americans with the impression that costs are rising just as fast, if not faster, than usual, according to a March 31 article in the Wall Street Journal. If Scott doesn’t increase funding, health care costs will rise. However, because people believe costs are already rising in the status quo, Scott has no urgent political push to improve the situation. The House should not buy into Rick Scott’s political pandering and realize that allocating money to hospitals will have so much more of a positive impact on individuals’ lives than an insignificantly higher spending per student and tax cuts for corporations. The Senate’s plan is much better for the state of Florida.

VICTORIA MCKABA // STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER EAT YOUR WORDS: The 15th annual Edible Books Festival took place at Richter Library Wednesday afternoon. The displays featured edible renditions of classic stories. Participants entered into four categories: Healthiest, Wittiest, Most Edible and Best in Show. “The Book of Flowers,” created by Luisa Norris won Best in Show. BY HALEY WALKER SENIOR EDGE WRITER
A candied “Candide,” a “Berry Hungry Caterpillar” and a f loury “Perks of Being a Wall-f lour” were among the entries in the 15th annual Edible Book Festival at Richter Library. This festival celebrates the nourishing power of novels with edible art. Members of the university community, students or otherwise, competed in four categories: Wittiest Pun, Most Edible, Healthiest and Best in Show. Senior Cassandra Sanabria and her sister baked “The Chocolate Room,” an edible representation of the chocolate room from “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” “We also made ‘Julius Caesar Salad,’ from Shakespeare’s ‘Julius Caesar,’” Sanabria said. “We put a little quote with the carrot – which represents Julius Caesar – that says, ‘Et tu Brutus Sprout.’” Since its founding in 2000, the International Edible Books Festival has been recognized and celebrated in 22 foreign countries and held in university libraries across the United States. It’s a chance to literally (and literarily) “eat your words.” Puns are abundant. “I liked ‘Game of Scones,’ because it was so innocent, and that show is really bloody. It’s kind of cute, the contrast,” senior Leslie Thompson said. The artwork ranged from bowls of salad and platters of fruit to a full-f ledged fondant cake in the shape of a book. Jay Sylvestre, special collections librarian, wrapped Twizzlers to look like a giant knot, creating his entry, “Tied Up.” “I thought of tying something together in knots, and I thought Twizzlers would be a good option,” he said. “Then April 2 - April 5, 2015
I remembered a book from my childhood called Maniac Magee. The main character unties a giant knot and earns himself free pizza for life, so I decided that was a really good fit and that I would be able to do it fairly easily but still have fun with it.” The winners of this year’s event were Hunter Hewitt, Wittiest Pun, for “Game of Scones;” Vanessa Rodrigues, Most Edible, for “Telltale Candy Heart;” Cheryl Gowing, Healthiest, for “The Berry Hungry Caterpillar;” and Luisa Norris, Best in Show, for “Book of Flowers.” Richter Library will continue this April Fool’s Day tradition next year. Visitors to the library can once again vote for their favorite food sculptures, platters and cakes – and eat them, too.

A wide range of restaurants deliver delicious meals all day long, but brunch is what the Grove does best. Start your day at Lulu or Greenstreet Cafe, both of which are worthy of their stellar reputations. Each features a combination of classic dishes and more innovative options, like Lulu’s red velvet waffles and Greenstreet’s Nutella-filled French toast. Get there early to avoid the midday rush and snag a sunny spot in the outdoor area. Next, stroll down Main Highway and check out Blu Moon Studio of Art to browse pieces by local Miami artists. For those feeling inspired, Blu Moon even offers classes for all ages and skill levels. Just a few blocks away, on McFarlane Road, is another art destination worth dropping by. Via Gallery truly has something for everyone, featuring 20 different artists at all times. If you are visiting on a Thursday, don’t miss the Grove Green Market, which is open weekly from November to April, from 2-8 p.m. This isn’t just an average farmers’ market, though; Grove Green Market was named the Best Farmers Market in Miami by Miami Newtimes in June 2014, and 95 percent of its produce is
grown less than 35 miles away. Coconut Grove also features another farmers’ market from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturdays, hosted by Glaser Organic Farms. Of course, no Miami neighborhood would be complete without retail stores. Boutiques like Goldie and Isabel Riera offer unique, elegant clothing and accessories in cozy, charming storefronts. For the frugal and adventurous, Sale Rack is a trendy shop for buying, selling and trading clothing. It’s the ideal place for fashion steals you won’t find anywhere else. When the sun begins to set, 21-and-over visitors gather in the Grove for creative cocktails and craft brews at discounted prices. Happy hour highlights include Georges’ 2-for-1 special from 4-7 p.m. on weekdays, and Jaguars deal, which offers three appetizers and three drinks for just $30 from 5-9 p.m. on Thursdays. End your visit in Peacock Park, where the Coconut Grove Business Improvement District and Dharma Studio host free yoga classes from 6-7 p.m. every Tuesday. Right by Biscayne Bay, the outdoor class is led by a certified instructor and is open to all community members – no experience required. Locals frequent the area for its regular array of attractions, but Coconut Grove is constantly offering special activities and hosting exciting events. From the free historic and ecology bike tours every second Saturday of the month to the monthly fashion, art and music festival, each visit to this neighborhood brings new experiences. A $2.50 Metrorail ride and a 20-minute walk will bring UM students right into the heart of Coconut Grove. Whether for a lazy weekday afternoon or a warm Sunday morning, take a Grove-cation and discover what’s been hiding right in your backyard.

Strong Lady Canes season continues Only six games remain before ACC Championship BY MARK SINGER CONTRIBUTING SPORTS WRITER

Canes win despite player injuries BY AJ RICKETTS ONLINE SPORTS EDITOR
NEW YORK – They didn’t have Angel Rodriguez. And midway through the first half, they lost Tonye Jekiri. And somehow, Miami won. Utilizing another clutch performance from Sheldon McClellan, and lifted by the play of their young players, the Miami Hurricanes advanced to the NIT Championship Thursday night with a thrilling 60-57 win over Temple Tuesday night, after a Quenton Decosey three rimmed out at the buzzer. “We’ve been like a M.A.S.H. unit. We’ve been playing without Angel Rodríguez for a while against Richmond; Manu sprained his knee, and Ja’Quan pulled a ligament in his thumb; and then tonight, Tonye Jekiri got a concussion ... but somehow, some way, these guys find a way to stick together, get some good defensive stops, and then we got very good fast break opportunities and made some shots in transition,” said coach Jim Larrañaga post game. As the first half rolled on and Miami appeared in an offensive rhythm, it was 8

immediately disrupted after the injury to Jerkiri. He did not return to the court after heading off to the locker room. Jekiri sustained a concussion and will miss the NIT final. The Hurricanes offense immediately suffered, and Temple extended their lead to as many as 11 points in the first half. Miami responded with a 9-3 run to end the half, heading into the break down by five, 30-25. Miami’s freshman began to contribute in the second half. Omar Sherman had just six points, but back to back baskets that began to turn the tide in Miami’s direction. Ja’Quan Neweton scored nine, and Deandre Burnett added eight, maybe none bigger than a length of the court drive that gave Miami a three point lead with less than a minute remaining. Larrañaga chatted about that play after the game - “Angel Rodríguez actually came to me and said, ‘Put Dre in, he’s ready.’ So we put Deandre Burnett in, gave him a chance to go to the basket; he went right to the rim and made a big shot.” Sheldon McClellan had 16 points for the second straight game, and added 11 rebounds for a double double. “The second half we came out and played more aggressive I feel like, including myself,” said McClellan, who

has been critical in late-game situations for Miami now in back-to-back games. “Coach ran a couple things and got me going offensively. We just fed off our defense, and it kind of led to fastbreak baskets and getting to the free throw line.” The Owls shot just 2-19 from beyond the arc. Temple star Will Cummings was held to just 11 points on 3-15 shooting; he had been averaging 22 PPG in the first three NIT games. Miami will play Stanford, also a No. 2 seed, in the NIT Championship game. In its last game on Tuesday, Stanford toppled Old Dominion 67-60, clinching the championship game. Before that, the team defeated two opponents at home in Maples Pavilion in a span of three days: Rhode Island, 74-65, and Vanderbilt, 7875. Senior guard Chasson Randle is the leading scorer for Stanford, averaging 19.4 points per game. Senior Anthony Brown follows Randle with 14.9 points per game and leads the team in rebounds with 6.8 per game. Courtney Fiorini contributed to this report.
MIAMI VS. STANFORD WHEN: 9 p.m. Thursday WHERE: ESPN
The women’s tennis team is entering the home stretch of the regular season. They are ranked No. 16 in the country and remain undefeated in matches played at the Neil Schiff Tennis Center. The Hurricanes (11-4, 7-1) have been a metronome of stellar play all season long, never having been ranked bellow the top 20 in the country. Led by junior Stephanie Wagner, the ITA No. 6-ranked singles player in the nation, the Canes are trying to finish the season ranked in the top 15 for the 12th straight year. The Canes have a crucial homestand this week with matches against No. 24 Duke (12-6, 7-1) on Thursday and No. 2 North Carolina on Saturday. Miami is currently tied for second in the ACC with Duke, as the undefeated Tar Heels (21-0, 9-0) lead the conference. With only six matches left before the ACC Championship begin on April 22, these two matches represent the biggest challenge Miami will face before entering postseason play. North Carolina handed Miami its first loss of the season back in February during the ITA Division I National Women’s Team Indoor Championship, held in Charlottesville, Virginia. Duke just ripped off an eight-match winning streak in March, which was snapped last Sunday in Durham against Georgia Tech. The Hurricanes recently upset No. 8 Virginia 5-2 in a nearly seven-hour match last Friday, but followed up the impressive win with a 4-3 loss against Virginia Tech. “That’s the beauty of sports; if you don’t show up ready to play, you typically lose,” Miami Head Coach Paige YaroshukTews told HurricaneSports.com after the loss to the Hokies. “Some days you’re the hammer and some days you’re the nail. Today we chose to be the nail. Maybe we’ll learn – let’s see, that’s not up to me.” The Canes have an interesting makeup this season, with five freshmen and four upperclassmen filling the ranks. In addition, every player was born outside the U.S. This hasn’t stopped the team from getting along, however, as Miami boasts two of the top 30 doubles pairs in the country: the No. 6-ranked team of Wagner and senior Lina Lileikite and the No. 29-ranked duo of senior Monique Albuquerque and junior Clementina Riobueno. Miami is accustomed to excellence from the women’s tennis team after 19 straight NCAA tournament appearances and nine consecutive trips to the Sweet 16. How the Hurricanes fare against tough Duke and North Carolina squads this week will go a long way toward determining whether or not the streaks will continue.

GOLF
‘Fearless Five’ wins big Starters finish five strokes ahead BY WILLIAM RIGGIN STAFF WRITER
Coach Patti Rizzo refers to her five starters for the Miami Hurricanes golf team as the “Fearless Five,” encouraging them to play freely and without worry on the course. They certainly were fearless in Jacksonville, Florida on Monday and Tuesday at the Web.com Intercollegiate tournament, as they led the field after each round and won by five strokes. It was the team’s sixth top-five finish of the season and second first-place finish. Its threeround score of 851 was 13 shots below par and five shots better than the second-place team, Texas Tech University. For the second straight tournament, a sophomore who was once ranked as the No. 1 women’s amateur in her South American country won the individual title for the Hurricanes. Sophomore Delfina Acosta of Argentina shot 10 strokes below par to best the field by four strokes. At last weeks Briar’s Creek Invitational, it was Ecuadorian Daniela Darquea who got the individual title as the team finished in second. Acosta shot below the 18-hole par of 72 in all three rounds at the Marsh Landing Country
Club in Jacksonville. Her first-round score of 67 was followed up by a 68 and 71 in the second and third rounds, respectively. Acosta’s terrific first round helped Miami to a first-round score of 281, seven strokes below par and good for first place. The Hurricanes nearly equaled that score in the second, shooting a 282, and giving themselves a six-shot cushion heading into the final round on Tuesday. They shot par for the course as a team in the final round and completed a dominant performance. None of the Fearless Five finished outside of the top 35. Senior Leticia Ras-Anderica tied for fifth place by shooting three shots below par for the tournament and Darquea finished one stroke over par to tie for 13th place. Senior Rika Park was two strokes over par to tie for 16th and senior Kailey Walsh shot seven strokes over par and finished tied for 35th. The “Fearless Five” mantra reflects Rizzo’s mental approach with her players, and it appears they’re finding a comfort level on the course with only one more competition, the SMU Invitational. It will be held on April 1011, right before the ACC Invitational starts on April 17. “The synergy is right where it needs to be,” Rizzo said. “We are looking forward to next week at SMU and the ACCs.”
SPORTS BRIEFS PLAYER RECOGNITION Miami Hurricanes men’s basketball junior guard Sheldon McClellan was announced on Tuesday as a finalist for the 2015 Riley Wallace Award. The Riley Wallace award is presented each year to the top transfer in Division I college basketball. McClellan transferred from the University of Texas in the fall of 2013. He leads the Canes with 14.4 points per game and shoots 49.3 percent from the field. McClellan is 35.9 percent from the three-point line and 81.6 percent at the line. He also notches 4.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. McClellan has the top shooting percentage in the nation by a guard in the Big 5 conferences and has the 13th-best shooting percentage by a guard in the nation. He is 77th among players at all positions. The winner will be announced at the CollegeInsider.com Awards Banquet on April 3 in Indianapolis where the 2015 NCAA Championship is held.
MEN’S TENNIS Hurricanes’ men’s tennis team hit the road this weekend for two ACC matches against No. 32 Florida State and No. 23 Louisville. On Friday, the Canes will face No. 32 FSU at 3 p.m. in Tallahassee. This match against will be broadcast on ESPN3. This is the 66th meeting of the Canes and the Seminoles. Miami leads with a 46-19 all-time record against FSU. The Seminoles enter the competition with a record of 16-6. Miami will move on to Kentucky to take on No. 23 Louisville at 12 p.m. Sunday. The Canes and Cardinals have only played twice, and Miami leads 2-0. Louisville is 19-4 this spring. The Hurricanes enter this weekend after beating Boston College and nearly upsetting No. 37 Notre Dame. Courtney Fiorini may be emailed at sports@themiamihurricane.com.
BASEBALL
Hurricanes start strong WEDNESDAY WIN: Junior third baseman David Thompson prepares to swing against Bethune-Cookman Wednesday night. The No. 12 Hurricanes crushed the Wildcats 13-3, winning the first of their nine-game homestand. Thompson had one run in the game. Sophomore catcher Zack Collins went 3-of-4 on the night with three RBIs. The Canes are 20-9 overall and 8-4 in the ACC. Only six of Miami’s 26 remaining games are away. Miami will start a threegame series against Duke at 7 p.m. Friday. Duke lost its last game against Campbell University on Tuesday, 9-6. This extended Duke’s losing streak to four games.

V, DEAR V That awkward moment when...
My boyfriend commutes to school and lives at home with his family. Last weekend, he finally introduced me to his parents. I had a wonderful time getting to know them and we really hit it off. His mother offered me the guest room to stay for the weekend. On the first night, my boyfriend snuck into the guest room with me and we started getting freaky. Everything was going well ... until his mom barged in! She screamed and ran out of the room, and wouldn’t look me in the eye at breakfast. Needless to say, I didn’t stay the whole weekend. I’m mortified and feel like I should apologize. What should I do? Sincerely, Caught in the Act
Dear Caught in the Act, As T-Swift would say, “I knew you were trouble when you walked in.” You two love birds got caught rolling around in the guest nest – and your guy’s mother stuck her beak where it didn’t belong. Hopefully, she’s learned her lesson not to enter a room without knocking. What you’re really concerned about is damage control, and I don’t blame you one bit. As they say, “Two’s company, three’s a crowd,” and I’m sure you relate to that saying all too well now. What a wonderful first impression to give to your potential in-laws. Unfortunately, it’s too late to “Hot Tub Time Machine” your mistake and stop your boyfriend from crawling into the sack with you. This is one of life’s many embarrassing moments that you’ll just have to learn to live with – and hey, at least your guy’s parents know he’s, well, being satisfied in your relationship. Sure, you could bring it up when you
see his parents next and apologize for that awkward moment, but what would you even say? “I’m sorry I had sex with your son” is probably not the way to solidify their first impression of you. Plus, it’s really your boyfriend’s choice to apologize, not yours. As you said, you seemed to really hit it off. For all you know, his parents might be completely over it and can laugh about it. At least you broke the ice, and they really got to see the real, bare you. And what have you got to apologize about? There’s nothing wrong with what you were doing, and it’s much more uncomfortable for your boyfriend’s mom than it is for you. At some point in time, think of the situation from her perspective: that was the little boy whose diaper she was changing. She’s now certain that her boy’s all grown up. Grin and bear the awkward moment – and next time, lock the door. V
