On Easter Sunday, Virginia Tech spoiled Miami’s hopes of its first ACC sweep of the season, falling 6-3.
AJ Ciscar took the bump after a brief injury stint that sidelined him from a start in the series last weekend against Clemson.
It took Ciscar a few innings to get in rhythm as he allowed a combined four runs in the second and third innings.
The sophomore was able to settle down in the back half of his appearance, going nine up nine down from innings three through six.
Ciscar finished his outing surrendering four runs (three earned) on six hits while striking out eight batters in six innings of work.
Costly base running happened to be a game changer in favor of Virginia Tech.
With two runners in scoring position, Max Galvin lined a ball to Virginia Tech right fielder Sam Grube who made an athletic diving grab. Derek Williams, standing on second base, did not get a good read and was unable to get back to the bag in time, resulting in a double play.
Despite seven hits through six innings for the Hurricanes, they could only score two runs.
On a 2-2 pitch, Daniel Cuvet hit a screamer down the left field line that scored the red-hot Jake Ogden from first base.
In the sixth inning, Galvin picked up his third hit in as many games and Brylan West rounded third base to score.
The Hurricanes left eight runners on base, while the Hokies only left two runners stranded. Over the first two games of the series, Miami scored 19 and eight runs with a large part due to scoring with runners on base. That trend did not continue on Sunday.
Virginia Tech starting pitcher Griffin Steig gave the Hokies much needed length and grinded out six innings of two-run ball. Steig gave up seven hits and struck out three, but got the outs when it mattered most.
Virginia Tech (15-15, 6-9) tacked on two insurance runs in the ninth inning off senior Ryan Bilka, who gave up a three-run home run the night prior.
The Hurricanes (24-8, 6-6 ACC) will look to get back in the win column as they will stay home to face cross-town rival FIU on Tuesday at 6 p.m.

Miami Hurricanes Track and Field had another successful meet as they headed to Gainesville for the Florida Relays.
It wasn’t the biggest showing for Miami this year, but throughout the weekend improved marks, new entries into the team’s top fives, and some top-of-the-line finishes were littered through the weekend.
Sanaa Hebron set a great early-season mark; in her debut for the outdoor season, she flew through the track on the 400m hurdles. At 55.57 seconds, she landed in second place and was just slightly short of her current personal best at 55.21.
Early in the day, hammer thrower Jocelyn Pringle set a new personal best with a 62.39 meter toss, improving on what is already the second-best mark in Miami history. This landed her at fourth on the day.
On Friday, Miami saw both their 4×100 squads make it to the finals for the weekend. For the men, the group of Ashton Torns, Caine Stanley, Carter Cukerstein and Dylan Woodruffe made their way back to the track and clocked a 39.85 time to qualify for the finals.
As for the women, their squad was made of Sophie Haag, Nandy Kihuyu, Aniyah Brown and Iyonna Codd. Neither squad would post a time in the finals, as the men received a disqualification and the woman did not start. Regardless, impressive times contributed to a solid day for the relay squads.

Rounding out the day, Enrique Borrego had to wait a long time to get on the track due to a two-hour rain delay. After the starting gun fired at 10:37 p.m., he made the most of his opportunity.
After entering the top three by the 600m split, he held his spot throughout the entire race and finished in third place with a time of 14:48.68. Not too far behind him was Evan Pena, who climbed from as far back as 11th to finish in fourth, seven seconds behind Borrego at 14:55.60.
Into Saturday, Miami added one more top five mark as Sean Watkins entered fourth place in school history in the 400m with his time of 46.02. Both Watkins and George Franks (45.97) ended in the top-10 of the field of 49 participants.
Back to the throwers, Desmond Coleman took a fourth-place finish in the discus with a throw of 57.87 m.
Closing out the day, the Hurricanes women’s squad with Serena Tate, Gabiralla Grissom, Antonia Sanchez Nunez and Sanaa Hebron was a part of the 4×400 invite section. The group came in fifth at 3:33.05, which, including the open group, would have been good for sixth of the 22 teams that competed on Saturday.
Hurricanes Track and Field will be back at Cobb Stadium for the Hurricane Alumni Invitational for their final home outdoor meet of the season. The meet will run from April 10-11.
Under a bright Easter Sunday sun at the Neil Schiff Tennis Center, Miami Men’s Tennis delivered exactly the kind of response teams search for but don’t always find.
Just two days removed from a gut-wrenching 4-3 loss to the North Carolina Tar Heels men’s tennis — a match that slipped away in the final moments — Miami returned to its home courts with a different edge, channeling that frustration into a composed, convincing 4-1 win over the Duke Blue Devils.
The timing couldn’t have been more fitting. With the buzz of the Miami Open still lingering in the city and a calm, sun-soaked afternoon blanketing Coral Gables, the setting felt almost too peaceful for the kind of battle that unfolded.
But beneath that warmth was urgency. Miami entered the match knowing exactly how thin the margin had been on Friday — and how important it was to flip the script.
The Hurricanes took control early. In doubles, Antonio Prat and Rafael Segado set the tone with a steady 6-3 win on the top court, playing with both confidence and rhythm. Moments later, the No. 43-ranked pair of Mehdi Sadaoui and Jakub Kroslak backed it up, grinding through a competitive 6-4 victory to clinch the doubles point.
It wasn’t just a point on the scoreboard, it was a shift in energy — a sign that Miami had come out sharper, more intentional and unwilling to let another match slip.
That momentum carried directly into singles, where Jules Garot extended the lead with a composed 6-3, 6-2 win, controlling the pace from start to finish. Sadaoui followed with a 6-3, 6-4 victory of his own to push Miami comfortably ahead to 3-0. The Hurricanes weren’t just winning.

They were dictating.
Still, Duke pushed back. Alexander Visser put the Blue Devils on the board with a straight-set win over Segado, and suddenly the remaining courts tightened. The top three matches became drawn-out battles filled with full momentum swings, each point carrying a little more weight than the last. It felt familiar — uncomfortably so — for a Miami team that just two days earlier, had experienced how quickly a match can turn.
But this time, the ending belonged to the Hurricanes.
With the pressure building, it was Nacho Serra Sanchez who stepped into the moment. Facing Duke’s No. 47 Cooper Williams, Serra Sanchez stumbled out of the gate, dropping the first set 0-6. For a moment, it looked like Duke might claw its way fully back into the match. Instead, Serra Sanchez recalibrated. He slowed things down, found his rhythm and began to chip away, taking the second set 7-5 before closing out the third 6-3.
His comeback not only secured the fourth and deciding point for Miami, but also marked the highest-ranked win of his career — a perfectly timed potentially career-defining performance.
In many ways, it was the perfect encapsulation of the afternoon. What began as a calm, almost serene Easter day evolved into a test of resilience, composure and response. And unlike its Friday matchup, Miami didn’t let the moment get away from them.
The 4-1 victory pushes the Hurricanes forward with renewed confidence as they prepare for their regular-season finale against the Florida State Seminoles. More importantly, it reinforces something deeper about this group: they don’t shy away from pressure — they rise to it.
On a day synonymous with light and renewal, Miami didn’t just bounce back.
They answered.
The Hurricanes will take on the Seminoles Saturday April 11.
The University of Miami men’s tennis team took on the North Carolina Tar Heels on a cloudy Friday afternoon at the Neil Schiff Tennis Center on April 3rd.
After a hard fought affair, Hurricanes lost a 4-3 decision, bringing their record to 12-10, and 4-7 within the ACC.
The Canes started off strong by earning a doubles point. However, the Tar Heels rallied back on court two as Niels Ratiu and Chris Xu took down Antonio Prat and Rafael Segado on court two, 6-2.
Over on court three, Nacho Serra Sanchez and Jules Garot took care of business, winning 6-2 over Ian Mayew and Logan Zapp. Meanwhile, No. 43 Jakub Kroslak and Mehdi Sadaoui were able to handle things as well, winning a closer match at the top court, 6-4, over No. 34 Roan Jones and Anthony Wright.
In singles, Miami got their first win as No. 118 Serra Sanchez handily beat No. 58 Jones, 6-2, 6-0, on court two. However, UNC struck back as they then took three straight for the lead on court one, three and six
Segado was able to tie it back at three on court four, beating Ratiu 7-5, 4-6, 6-3. However, Sadaoui fell 6-2, 3-6, 6-2 to Djakouris on court five.
The Hurricanes are back on Sunday to face Duke at the Neil Schiff Tennis Center.
Coming off a disappointing 4-0 loss to No.20 Clemson last Sunday, the Miami Hurricanes women’s tennis team had a point to prove taking the court against the Syracuse Orange.
And in an impressive display, Miami (11-2, 4-8 ACC) swept Syracuse (6-10, 2-7 ACC) convincingly Friday afternoon at the Neil Schiff Tennis Center in Coral Gables.
The doubles point offered a back and forth battle between the ACC sides, as the Hurricanes fought to secure the opening point.
Sebastianna Scilipoti and Raquel Gonzalez struck first at the top court, 6-2, over Anastasia Sysoeva and Nelly Knezkova. The Syracuse Orange secured their lone win of the afternoon on court three, led by Leena Bennetto and Emma Scaladalai over Maria Vargas and Sofia Rocchetti, 6-4.
Meanwhile, on court two, Daria Volosova and Dominika Podhajecka were able to clinch the doubles point, 7-6 (2), over Serafima Shastova and Monika Wojcik.
Miami dominated in singles, taking three straight matches to secure the sweep.
Volosova had a remarkable match as she started the streak off with a 6-0, 6-1 win, followed by another 6-0, 6-1 win from Jaquelyn Ogunwale on court three.
On the other side, Aely Arai was able to clinch a win on court four with a 6-4, 6-1 victory.
The Hurricanes will be back again at the Neil Schiff Tennis C on Sunday to face Boston College at home.
The bats of the Miami Hurricanes stayed hot on a humid Saturday night at Mark Light Field, as the Canes won their fourth-straight game, defeating the Virginia Tech Hokies 8-6.
Following a 19-1 run rule slugfest the night prior, Miami was looking to break the game open for the second night in a row against the Hokies. Up 4-1 in the bottom of the fourth with a runner on third base, Daniel Cuvet stepped up to the plate.
The junior third baseman took VT’s Brett Renfrow’s offspeed pitch deep into the night for a 385-foot two-run home run in left-center field to give the Canes a 6-1 lead.
Cuvet’s 53rd career home run surpassed Yonder Alonso for third-most home runs by a Miami Hurricane. He trails only Pat Burrel and Phil Lane for the all-time home run lead.
Prior to Cuvet’s long ball, second baseman Jake Ogden crushed Renfrow’s breaking ball off the wall in right-center field, plating two runs as the senior collected his second triple to give Miami a three-run advantage. Ogden finished the night going 4-for-5 with three extra-base hits and three RBIs.

Despite the six-run hole, the Hokies fought in the ninth. Following back-to-back walks surrendered by Frank Menendez, Nick Locurto lined an RBI single to center field down to his last out.
Ryan Bilka came in for Menendez and on the first batter he saw, gave up a 420-foot three-run home run to Ethan Ball, who sent his pitch off the parking garage in right field.
Bilka bounced back, striking out Sam Grube and end the late surge from the Hokies.
After putting up 19 runs on Friday, the UM bats continued to stay hot.
Entering Saturday’s game, UM’s bats have put up six or more runs in 12-straight games. The Canes that streak, scoring eight runs on 12 hits. Miami’s top of the order — Ogden, Cuvet and Alex Sosa — went 7-for-14 and tallied six RBIs.
After missing the last 26 games due to an ankle injury, left fielder Max Galvin made his return to the Hurricanes lineup. In his second at-bat, the redshirt senior laced a single up the middle for his first hit 46 days.
Lazaro Collera toed the slab for the Hurricanes and followed up his six scoreless against Clemson with another strong performance against VT.
Collera gave up just one run on five hits, striking out five and allowing one walk in six innings of work. Over his last three games starting, the Miami native has a 3.22 ERA.
The only trouble Collera had came in the second inning, when Pete Daniel and Sam Gates hit back-to-back doubles to put the Hokies on the board first.
With tonight’s win, the Hurricanes claim back-to-back ACC series victories for the first time this year. After a rough start to conference play with series losses to Boston College and Duke, UM might be back to the form fans expected when the season started.
The Hurricanes will look to sweep the Hokies for the first time since March 17-18, 2023 on Easter Sunday. First pitch at Mark Light Field is set for 1 p.m.

An all-clear has been issued at Dadeland Mall following a reported bomb threat, according to a statement from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office on X at 5:26 p.m. on April 4, 2026. Authorities conducted a thorough security sweep of the mall, and no injuries have been reported.
The incident at the mall was part of a broader situation that unfolded Saturday afternoon, when two separate bomb threats were reported at Dadeland Mall and Baptist Hospital of Miami around 4:15 p.m.
The two sites are two to three miles southwest of UM’s campus, placing them within a heavily trafficked area frequently visited by students.
“I was in Princess Polly, and as I was leaving, I noticed the doors were locked and a sales associate had to let me and my friend out,” said Ariana Glaser, a sophomore at UM. “When we got out of the mall, there were several police cars scattered and people looking over our heads through the windows. While waiting for our Lyft, we heard talks of bomb threats. That’s when we also noticed a SWAT vehicle.”
April Fools Day is a day of laughs and fun to play harmless jokes on your friends and family. Jokes should never have to end in unsettling fear and uncomfortable punchlines that, well, never get to the punch.
However, for the students and faculty of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the student newspaper caused just that.
For our April Fools edition, The Miami Hurricane published an editorial that addressed the responsibility student newspapers have to hold as trusted sources on campus, and how easy articles can spread misinformation, bias and harm to citizens.
The same day, University of North Carolina’s The Daily Tar Heel published a series of satirical articles that were labeled as news, leading to mass misinterpretation, unfunny jokes and outrage.
These articles made light of topics such as ICE coming to campus and “UNC brings back DEI — for whites.” One article also used the term “two-stadium solution” as a pun for basketball infrastructure, poking at the Palestine-Israel conflict. Another mocked the historical Native American institution UNC-Pembroke as a demotion to campus-life.
Steps are being made to rectify the situation, but publishing these articles — especially as “news” — is an extreme misstep by The Tar Heel.
As student journalists, we have a responsibility to fellow students, faculty and members of the community to report news and be reliable, not to spread misinformation or fear.
UNC student body president Adolfo Alvarez issued a statement on Instagram calling for the newsroom to delete these articles and take accountability for any harm they might have caused. Alvarez called the published articles “insensitive and disrespectful,” listing multiple references in the articles that targeted students.
A number of articles, including the ICE article, have since been removed from the website, and an apology from the editor-in-chief was published later the same day.
In her statement, the editor-in-chief reiterated that the articles were incorrectly labeled online. In the print edition the articles were labeled under the opinion section as satire, with the opinion section falling on the last three pages of the 20-page edition.
The front page of The Tar Heel did not indicate that any of the articles were satirical. The second page did include a disclaimer, but this “april fools edition” still ended harmful and misleading. Anyone who did not open the paper to continue reading was led to believe everything on the front page was true.
Mistakes happen, but these articles should have never been published — satire or not. From the writer, to the editorial board, to the board, there must have been checks. Why did the top leadership ever think to give the “go ahead” to publish? For views? For laughs?
Student journalism is not exempt from ethical standards — if anything, it demands more care. Trust is the foundation of any newsroom, and once it is broken, it is difficult to rebuild.
The responsibility we hold as student journalists is not optional, and it should never be treated as a joke.
The Miami Hurricanes made Mark Light Field look like a little league park, launching four homers and 14 hits as part of a 19-1 demolition of Virginia Tech.
Right fielder Derek Williams once again led the way for the Canes, notching his third-straight game with a homer alongside a rally-starting double in the third.
Other Canes of note include Brylan West, Jake Ogden and Alonzo Alvarez — all three launching homers which totaled seven runs driven in.
Every Hurricane starter tallied a hit, RBI and a run.
UM came into the matchup only tenth in the ACC, making this weekend’s conference matchup against VT all the more important for its season outlook.
And the mercy-rule win was the best series opener the Canes could’ve asked for.
After scoring first in their last six games, the Hurricanes expected to continue that trend Friday night. However, starting pitcher Rob Evans ran into some trouble out of the gate.
The 6-foot-1 lefty walked the Hokies’ leadoff batter in four pitches, giving the Hokies the first run on an RBI triple down the first base line.
Across five innings of work, Evans notched seven strikeouts and only allowed four hits en route to earning his sixth win of the season.
Despite what the final scoreline would suggest, Miami didn’t erase the deficit immediately, sat down 1-2-3 to close the first inning.
The Canes broke VT’s lead in the bottom of the second as Williams smoked the first pitch of his first at bat over the left field wall to tie the game 1-1.
The 383-foot bomb adds another homer to Williams’s growing total (12) on the season, leading the Hurricanes.
The Canes weren’t done, though.
Following singles by Vance Shehan and designated hitter Alonzo Alvarez, center fielder Fabio Peralta drove them both in with a triple down the right-field line eerily similar to Tech’s in the first inning.
Second Baseman Jake Ogden joined Williams, sending a homer to left for a 2-run shot, giving the Canes a 5-1 lead.
In the third, Williams started another rally with a double down the right field line, reaching third on an error in right. After first baseman Brylan West was hit by a pitch, Sheahan laid down a picture-perfect bunt for a hit and an RBI.
As the Hokies starter Brendan Yagesh began to falter, they issued their first change of the day with bases loaded and two outs.
But this was not enough to stop the Canes offense. With bases loaded, Catcher Alex Sosa ripped a ball against the shift to right field, scoring two.
After walking Williams to once again load the bases, VT made their second change within the same inning, bringing in righty reliever Aiden Robertson in hopes to end the inning.
The Hurricanes remained uncontainable.
On the eighth pitch of West’s at bat, he pulled a homer to left, falling right under the scoreboard for a grand slam — marking a nine-run third inning.

With one out in the bottom of the fourth, Alvarez smoked a homer to center, joining a growing list of Miami batters to put one over the fence this game with a 403 foot solo-shot.
Immediately followed by a Peralta double, and moments later the same from Cuvet, the Canes scored a run and extended Miami’s lead to 15.
Despite a Hokies’ double in the fifth, Evans threw another scoreless frame — maintaining Miami’s lead.
With VT’s fifth pitcher taking the mound, the story stayed much the same.
After walking the first two, righty Tyler Stone grooved one to left fielder Dylan Dubovik, whose oppo-shot drove in one.
Pinch hitter Max Galvin, returning from injury, tallied an infield single for his first appearance since February.
Quickly subbed for pinch runner Mason Greenhouse, Galvin’s awaited return brought overwhelming support from fans, with many cheering for his entrance.
As the inning concluded with three more runs for Miami, Brixton Lofgren came in to end Evans’s dominant outing, with Erick Peralta closing the final frame.
A scoreless sixth and seventh inning for both parties sustained the lopsided score, with the game ending in the seventh due to the mercy rule.
Miami will aim to continue its offensive momentum tomorrow night at 6 p.m. with the opportunity to secure its second straight ACC series win.

A kitchen fire in Lakeside Village near Lobby A caused disruption Thursday afternoon, as fire alarms and sprinklers activated around 3:45 p.m. on April 2.
An emergency alert was sent to students at 4:11 p.m., stating, “Fire alarm activation at Lakeside Village. Fire and Police are on scene. Building is partially evacuated. Avoid the area.”
Some students evacuated the building, but not all residents were able to hear the fire alarms.
“It was the dorm across from mine,” said a student who wishes to remain unnamed. “I was studying in the porch room on the corner of Lakeside when I heard the alarm. I went back toward my room, but I couldn’t get in because there was black liquid oozing from under the door into the hallway. It smelled a little funky.”

Water began pouring out of the patio areas on floor six of Lakeside above Smoothie King. The water came down for around 20 minutes.
No injuries have been reported. However, water reached as low as the first floor of the building.

Affected rooms include “apartments ending in X100- x105, x115 – x128, x090-x092, & X097 on all floors,” according to an email sent to Lakeside residents and a statement from the University of Miami.
All other residents were permitted to return to their rooms before 6 p.m.
According to a firefighter leaving the scene, the fire originated in an apartment on the sixth floor and did not spread beyond that unit.
At 5:08 p.m., a follow-up alert from UM confirmed the situation was under control.
“Fire has given the all clear at Lakeside Village. Area is reopened. Impacted residents will be contacted directly by Housing & Residential Life. Final update.”
The statement also said, “The Coral Gables Fire Department immediately responded quickly and the fire was extinguished while the building was temporarily evacuated. Our Facilities team was immediately responsive and is now overseeing restoration and remediation following the incident.”
At the time of publication, the University has not yet provided information about where students from the affected rooms will be relocated to.
A student who wishes to remain unnamed who lives in one of the affected rooms told The Hurricane that Housing and Residential Life called her to let her know she would be relocated to THesis hotel for the weekend.

With high expectations fueled by a top-10 ranked recruiting class and a complete roster overhaul, the 2025-2026 University of Miami’s women’s basketball team fell short of expectations, finishing with an 18-15 record marked with inconsistencies.
The Hurricanes finished 12th in the Atlantic Coast Conference and reached the second round in the ACC tournament, defeating Stanford in overtime before falling to Notre Dame 69-54. Miami’s season ended in the second round of the Women’s Basketball Invitation Tournament with a 72-65 loss to Wisconsin.
At the start of the season, Miami secured a top-10 ranked recruiting class that included Camillie Williams, Danielle Osho, Natalie Wetzel, Meredith Tippner and Emanuel’s Okolo. The Hurricanes also added a top-15 ranked transfer class, highlighted by key players like Ra Shaya Kyle, Gal Raviv and Amarachi Kimpson.
Despite returning just one player, Ahnay Adamd, the previous season, Miami entered the year with promise.
The Hurricanes opened the season with a 112-62 win over Lynn on Oct. 18 and built early momentum before suffering their first loss against Iowa 64-61 on Nov. 22.
However, Miami’s longest win streak was just four games, reflecting an inability to sustain consistent play.
Key ACC wins included a 75-67 victory over Virginia Tech on Jan.1 and 75-66 win against SMU on Jan.25. Still, losses to Duke 74-58, on Jan. 29, and Virginia, 65-60 on Feb.5 highlighted ongoing struggles
As a team, Miami shot 30.6% three point percentage, 43.5% field goal, and 67.2% from the free throw line. The Canes recorded 1,192 rebounds, 412 assists, 213 steals and 439 turnovers; while also making 823 out of 1880 attempted field goals and 355 out of 531 free throws.
Kyle and Raviv led the team with Kyle averaging 16 points and 10 rebounds per game, while Raviv added 13 points and four assists.

Despite its talent, Miami’s season ultimately ended due to lack of execution. The Hurricanes fluctuated between strong offensive performance and games where they failed to meet expectations.
That pattern of uneven performance is evident in Miami’s two matchups against Florida State Miami won the first game meeting 89-73 on Jan.11th in Coral Gables. The Canes shot 47% from field goal, 32% from beyond the arc and 75% from free throws. In the rematch on Feb.8, Miami lost 87-70 shooting 36% from field goal, 19% from three point range and 61% from free throws.
A similar trend appeared in Miami’s two games against Stanford as well. Miami won both – 65-52 on Feb.19 and 83-76 in overtime on March 4, but posted inconsistent shooting numbers in each outing.
Those fluctuations ultimately contributed to Miami’s early exit in both the ACC tournament and WBIT.
Still, the outlook remains optimistic. Under head coach Tricia Cullop, Miami is set to add international players, Mara Uranker from Slovenia and Anna Liepina from Latvia ahead of the 2026 season.
With another recruiting class and incoming transfers expected, the Hurricanes will look to build more consistency and turn potential into results next season.
