Miami soccer loses 3-2 in Sunday matinee against No. 2 Stanford
Miami lost its seventh straight ACC fixture of the season, falling 3-1 to No.2 Stanford at Cobb Stadium Sunday afternoon.
Stanford came into the fixture in fantastic form, having won all six of its last matches in dominant fashion. The Cardinal have demolished the weaker opponents it has faced in the ACC, having beat Pitt 6-0, Syracuse 4-0, and Virginia Tech 5-0.
Nevertheless, the Hurricanes held their own throughout their first half, pushing Stanford’s attacking moves out wide, and forcing uncomfortable shots.
Miami’s Ciara Alarcon and Crosby Nicholson were comfortable in controlling the ball in the midfield while Moira Flynn was impressive with her hold-up play in the right striker slot. Flynn was able to produce several chances down the right side through her strength and close control, which also helped bring Teegan Melenhorst into the game.
The second half saw Stanford attack with more urgency, pushing Miami’s formation more narrow, allowing the Cardinal to play more crosses and more chances around the goal. The relentless pressure resulted in an unfortunate handball from Miami’s Lexi Lerwick, leading to a 61st minute penalty which Andrea Kitahita converted composedly to give the Cardinal a 1-0 lead.
Stanford’s lead was swiftly doubled as Shae Harvey found joy at the back-post only two minutes later.
Yet, Miami demonstrated true grit in the 66th minute as center forward Brie Severns pressed the Stanford defense and pushed forward with the ball, allowing her to find space and place a very clinical finish into the bottom left corner of Stanford’s net to inch closer at 2-1.
Severns’s goal not only kept Miami in the game, but extended her goal tally to four this season, keeping her place as the Hurricanes’ top-scorer.
The Cardinal found its stride once again in the 79th minute as a cross by Charlotte Kohler found the feet of Kitahata, letting the U-20 US national find her second goal of the game, extending Stanford’s lead to 3-1.
Miami never lost its aggression, as UM continuously fought to win loose balls in the middle of the park. The Hurricanes hard-work paid off in the last minutes of the game, as a cross from Sarah Greiner took two deflections from the Stanford defense and found the back of the net, closing the gap to 3-2.
Still, Stanford’s initial two-goal lead was simply too high of a margin to climb, and the final whistle closed out the game with Stanford achieving their seventh win of the ACC season, and Miami taking home the same number in losses.
The Hurricanes will look to build on the positives of this game as they prepare to face UNC at home on Oct. 23 at 7 p.m.
Meet the 2025-26 Miami women’s basketball captains
In just over a few weeks, year two of the Tricia Cullop Miami Hurricanes women’s basketball era is set to begin. On Friday, the team announced its captains for the 2025-26 season.
Last year’s squad featured five captains led by the Cavinder twins but this year Cullop has selected two players to lead the team.
Ahnay Adams
The 5-foot-6 sophomore guard from New Bedford, Mass. is set to begin her second season as a Hurricane and one of only two returners this season. Adams appeared in all 29 games last season and averaged just under four points per game as well as 1.1 steals per game. She is a great ball handler, able to drive to the basket and is pesky on defense.
Jessica Peterson
The transfer from SMU, Peterson brings veteran leadership to this newly constructed team. The 6-foot-2 center averaged 10.3 points and 12 rebounds per game while starting in every game. She set the SMU program record for the most rebounds in a single season (360) and completed the season with the highest rebounding average in program history. Additionally, Peterson led the ACC in rebounds during conference play with 11.4 a game. The graduate student will play dividends for Miami’s interior game.
The Hurricanes open the season on Nov. 3 against the Hofstra Pride at the Watsco Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 5 p.m.
Season-ending loss? Takeaways from Miami’s loss against Louisville
The No. 2 Miami Hurricanes suffered a devastating 24-21 loss to Louisville on Friday night at Hard Rock stadium. Quarterback Carson Beck had a night to forget, throwing four interceptions — including one to linebacker T.J. Capers that sealed the game.
The Hurricanes dropped their first game of the season and their first home loss since November 2023, which was also against Louisville. So, what does this mean for Miami going forward?
Despite still being favored to make the College Football Playoff, the ’Canes no longer control their own destiny in the ACC. Entering Saturday, Georgia Tech, Virginia, Duke, and SMU all remain undefeated in conference play. Miami faces only SMU among those teams, while Georgia Tech and Virginia do not play each other this season.
It also marks the end of Beck’s Heisman Trophy campaign. The sixth-year redshirt senior entered the Louisville game as the odds-on favorite, but finished without a touchdown pass and four interceptions, effectively removing him from the race for the nation’s most outstanding player.
Still, this loss does not end Miami’s season. In the 12-team CFP era, the Hurricanes remain very much alive. While the defeat is frustrating and will have fans concerned, there’s no reason to panic.
Beck put it best after the game: “It’s a good thing that we play twelve games and not just one.”
However, the loss exposed several problems that head coach Mario Cristobal and his staff need to address immediately. If not, Miami’s promising season could unravel quickly.
Beck’s struggles need to be addressed
In one night, Beck went from Heisman front-runner and fan favorite to a source of frustration in Coral Gables.
His four interceptions were more than he had thrown the rest of the season combined. While Beck wasn’t solely to blame — Miami’s running game and run defense also struggled — his turnovers proved decisive.
The Hurricanes still had a chance, trailing by only three in the fourth quarter thanks to a pair of late defensive stops and a forced fumble. But, Beck’s fourth interception sealed Miami’s fate, overshadowing everything from this game.
While his Heisman hopes may be gone, Miami needs Beck to lean on his experience and help the team rebound from this rough outing.
A night to forget for the running backs
After a disappointing performance against Florida State, the Hurricane run game hit a new low versus Louisville.
UM ran for just 63 yards, averaging only 2.6 yards a carry. The entire season it seemed Miami had a two-headed monster in its run game with junior Mark Fletcher Jr. and redshirt sophomore Marty Brown. However, the Cardinals defense handled the duo with ease. Fletcher finished the night having 18 yards off eight carries, which led the team, and Brown rushed for nine yards off three carries.
The offensive line also deserves its share of blame. Running lanes were nonexistent as the team’s longest run came from sophomore Jordan Lyle, who had one 12-yard carry. Fletcher and Brown’s longest rushes were six and five yards, respectively.
Miami needs to get its run game back into form. Relying only on Beck is far too risky after his turnover-prone outing.
Malachi Toney continues to shine
True freshman wideout Malachi Toney continues to look like Miami’s best offensive weapon, and it’s not particularly close.
Fresh off a dominating performance against the Seminoles, Toney continued his record inaugural campaign with a great all-around performance against the Cardinals.
The Liberty City native led the team with 135 yards off nine receptions, averaging 15 yards per catch. Toney is as shifty as they come and that showed on the stat sheet as he had 104 yards after catch. A chunk of those yards came in the second quarter when Toney took a screen pass from Beck and turned it into a 61-yard gain, bringing Miami inside Louisville’s redzone.
Even though he is a receiver, Toney ran for a 12-yard touchdown to put Miami in a one score game and followed it up with a pass to CJ Daniels to complete a two-point conversion.
At only 18-years-old, it’s not crazy to say that Toney is the second best player on Miami’s roster, competing with Rueben Bain Jr. for the top spot. Nevertheless, Toney cannot win on his own.
“It’s not about me, we got to play team football,” said Toney after the game.
Miami can’t get out of its own way
On top of their offensive and defensive struggles, the Hurricanes were plagued by penalties and poor discipline. Miami committed nine penalties for 68 yards, five more than UM had on the ground.
Those mental errors made it nearly impossible to come back from. The holding calls, unnecessary roughness and clock-management issues proved costly.
The Hurricanes entered Friday hoping to prove they were different from the Miami teams of old: disciplined, composed, and finding ways to win football games. Instead, they looked like the same-old-’Canes that fans have seen for the last 20+ years.
Cristobal’s squad must quickly regroup and correct these issues, or a promising season could slip away fast.
Miami stays home once again this week, hosting the Stanford Cardinal on Saturday, Oct. 24 at 7 p.m. Kickoff at Hard Rock Stadium is set for 7 p.m.
No.14 Hurricanes fall to Cal in second-straight loss
Miami’s third loss of the season came unexpectedly as Cal completed the reverse sweep over the Hurricanes in Berkeley.
The Hurricanes (15-3, 5-2 ACC) dominated the first set over the Golden Bears (6-11, 3-4 ACC), opening with a 5-0 run to dart to a 25-16 set win, capped off by two aces from Senior Dalia Wilson.
Following that up with another strong set, Miami won the second with a score of 25-14 with a .478 hitting percentage.
The match turned drastically at the end of the third set, as Cal turned it to their favor winning 25-19.
A 4-0 lead for Miami at the start of the fourth set seemed to set in motion a Miami win, but Cal fought back, winning the set 25-22.
The final set was kept close, but ultimately the Golden Bears pulled away with a 15-2 win, upsetting the ’Canes for their second ACC loss.
Despite the loss, Senior Flomarie Heredia Colon continues her stellar season, adding 28 kills to the books with Sophomore Logan Webb tallying an additional 5 blocks.
The No.14 Hurricanes hope to bounce back against No. 5 ranked Stanford this Sunday as they still remain among the top of the teams in the ACC.
Beck’s fourth interception seals No. 2 Miami’s 24-21 loss to Louisville
Down 24-21 with about four minutes to play, Miami was searching for a late score against Louisville, looking to tie the game or take the lead for the first time all evening.
With 36 seconds on the clock, Carson Beck and the Hurricanes drove to the Cardinals 31-yard line, putting UM in prime position to at least send the game to overtime.
On first down, Beck stepped back in the pocket and tried throwing the ball outside to tight end Elija Lofton. Louisville’s TJ Capers jumped the route and intercepted Beck, going quickly to the ground before running to the sidelines to celebrate with his team.
Beck’s fourth interception of the night sealed the deal as the No. 2 ’Canes dropped their first game of the season to the Cardinals 24-21.
“There was a miscommunication on the play and the routes that were supposed to be run,” Beck said.
Things originally looked bleak for Miami after Beck threw his third interception of the game on fourth down, giving the Cardinals the ball with eight minutes left and an 11-point lead. On the ensuing possession, the ’Canes were given new life.
On first down, Louisville quarterback Miller Moss pitched the ball out on the left side to Isaac Brown, who fumbled the ball thanks to a big hit from Miami defensive back Keionte Scott.
The next play, true freshman Malachi Toney scored on an end around touchdown to bring the score to within five. On the two-point attempt, Toney threw a perfect pass to CJ Daniels to cut the deficit to three.
Despite the loss, Toney has put the rest of college football on notice as one of the premier wideouts in the nation. The 18-year old phenom hauled in nine catches for 135 yards, including a 61-yard catch and run.
Beck, however, played the worst game of his 2025 campaign. The sixth-year redshirt senior quarterback went 25-for-35 passing for 271 yards, throwing four interceptions and no touchdowns. An uncanny and uncharacteristic performance for the veteran quarterback that ultimately cost the ’Canes the game.
“There were times where maybe I was a little too aggressive and again it’s part of the game but we have to protect the ball better,” Beck said. “That can’t happen. It’s unacceptable.”
The Hurricanes (5-1, 1-1 ACC) got out of the gate slowly, which allowed Louisville (5-1, 2-1 ACC) to storm out to an early 14-0 lead in the first quarter. Miami had entered Friday’s contest trailing just once.
Penalties have been Miami’s kryptonite all season, which continued tonight. By the end of the game, UM had nine penalties resulting in 68 lost yards.
“I’m disappointed in a lot of different aspects,” Miami head coach Mario Cristobal said after the game. “We gave ourselves a chance to tie or open the game but did not overcome all the issues that we caused ourselves.”
Louisville quarterback Miller Moss and wide receiver Chris Bell continued their strong connection, carving up the UM defense.
Bell finished the game with nine receptions for 136 yards and two touchdowns. Moss was an efficient passer on the night, going 23-for-27 with 248 passing yards and three total touchdowns.
Two of Beck’s interceptions came early, one which the pass was intended for triple-teamed Malachi Toney. A drive later, Beck threw a ball to the left sideline that was picked off by Jabari Mack and intended for redshirt senior wideout Keelan Marion.
Miami remained flat footed on both sides of the ball through three quarters, which proved too much to come back from despite the late efforts.
The Schnellenberger trophy will travel back to Louisville and remain in its possession until at least the next matchup.
With this loss, Miami no longer controls its own destiny to make the ACC Championship. Both Virginia and Georgia Tech are undefeated in conference play and don’t play each other or Miami.
The ’Canes still have the ability to make the College Football Playoffs this season, but Friday’s loss only makes it harder. Miami will likely have to win out to secure an at-large bid in the playoffs.
The Hurricanes will look to regroup and get set for their matchup against Stanford next Saturday at 7 p.m. at Hard Rock Stadium.
Miami Women’s soccer suffers 2-0 loss to Cal
In what was a pleasant fall night in Coral Gables, Fla. the Miami Hurricanes could not get the job done at Cobb Stadium. The Hurricanes lost to the Cal Golden Bears 2-0 on Thursday night.
The Golden Bears (8-2-7, 4-1-3 ACC) under 18th year head coach Neil McGuire, got out of the gate strong. They dominated in time of possession early and had exceptional ball movement on Miami’s side of the field.
In the ninth minute of the match, Cal’s Coco Thistle one-hopped a pass into the chest of Lumi Kostmayer, who controlled it off her chest and then fired a shot into the bottom left corner of the net from about 10 yards out.
Miami (6-6-3, 0-6-1 ACC) did lead in total shots with 15 compared to Cal’s 11. Graduate forward Brie Severns led the Hurricanes with four shots with one of them being on target.
After 45 minutes of play, Cal held a 1-0 lead.
With the second half came a goal keeper change on the side of Miami. Emily Bredek was subbed off for Atlee Olofson.
Cal struck again in the 55th minute thanks to Mia Fontana who hit a low driven shot to the bottom right of the goal. Coco Thistle went on to pick up another assist as Cal took a commanding 2-0 lead.
Despite Miami scoring attempts throughout the second half, Cal went on to take the victory.
The Hurricanes look to regroup as they are set to host No. 4 Stanford on Sunday at noon. The game will be aired on ACC Network.

TMH Staff Predictions for Friday night Miami-Louisville matchup
Sebastian Font, Co-Sports Editor
Miami versus Louisville never fails to disappoint, with the last two matchups combining for 166 points in total.
The Hurricanes come into this matchup as the No.2 team in the nation, while Louisville currently boasts a 12-game streak of scoring over 25 points.
But even with offensive weapons such as WR Chris Bell and RB Isaac Brown, the Cardinals streak will come to an end Friday night at Hard Rock.
Louisville’s offensive line group has consistently been one of the worst in the country, and now have to face arguably the best defensive line in the country in Miami. Expect Rueben Bain Jr. and Akheem Mesidor to consistently get after the quarterback.
On the offensive side expect Miami to return to the run game and enforce their will through the trenches under the Friday night lights.
Final Score: Miami 37, Louisville 20
Zach Cohen, Senior Staff Writer
The No. 2 Miami Hurricanes are coming off another bye week and so is its opponent, the Louisville Cardinals.
With both teams rested, it’s an even playing field and has the potential to be a contested battle.
It was a 52-45 affair in last year’s game between the two squads but the big difference now is the Hurricanes defense.
Look for Miami’s defensive line to get to Louisville quarterback Miller Moss quickly as he is not a mobile quarterback and will stay in the pocket.
Louisville does have a good rushing defense and it will be vital to get Mark Fletcher Jr and the running backs going. This goes on par with having the offensive line block and allow the running backs room to run.
Like always, if Miami’s two top receivers in Malachi Toney and CJ Daniels have a good game, the Hurricanes will improve to 6-0.
Final Score: Miami 35, Louisville 21

After a three-week span in which they only played one game, the Hurricanes should be as healthy as ever as they host a Louisville team which appears sneaky good on paper.
The Cardinals are 4-1 on the season, with their only loss coming to No.18 Virginia in overtime. Their quarterback, former USC Trojan Miller Moss, has big-game experience and certainly won’t go down easily against the ‘Canes.
However, Louisville’s wins have come against Eastern Kentucky, James Madison, Pitt, and Bowling Green – not the toughest of competition.
Miami’s stars, rested up, will be locked and loaded for this one, as the ‘Canes have Heisman frontrunners Carson Beck and Ruben Bain Jr., ready to wreak havoc. At the end of the day, Louisville is a decent squad, but Miami is ranked No. 2 for a reason. Expect wide outs C.J. Daniels and Malachi Toney to have a field day on Louisville’s secondary this week. Miami takes it handily at home under the lights.
Final Score: Miami 42, Louisville 20
Olivia Attalla, Contributing Writer
It’s another battle in the ACC where the Miami Hurricanes take on the Louisville Cardinals on Friday night at Hard Rock Stadium.
Miami is coming off a bye after a huge 28-22 win over FSU and remains undefeated at No.2 in the AP Poll. Meanwhile, Louisville is coming off a bye as well following a 30-27 loss against No.18 Virginia in overtime.
’Canes QB Carson Beck and his offensive line have been unstoppable this season, while Louisville QB Miller Moss will need his offensive line to step it up against the mighty Miami Hurricanes defensive line.
This will be another great game in the Miami-Louisville series, and one that Miami will come out victorious.
Final Score: Miami 35, Louisville 22
Oliver Innes, Contributing Writer
Miami has pieces that give them the edge.
Their pass rush, in particular, is a legitimate defense that frequently causes quarterbacks to struggle. Louisville, on the other hand, has recently suffered a defeat, and their running style has been inconsistent.
Miami will dominate third downs, control the trenches and better manage the clock.
Even though Louisville can create plays through the air, Miami should be prepared and battle-tested because of their more demanding schedule thus far. Taking everything into account, Miami should win, albeit not by the overwhelming amount many suggest.
Final Score: Miami 31, Louisville 20
Bad Bunny fans at the University of Miami are ready for Super Bowl LX
Bad Bunny will perform in San Francisco to millions as the 2026 LX Super Bowl Apple Music Halftime Show performer.
The Puerto Rican artist is one of the most streamed Spotify artists in the world. His most recent album, “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS,” proved he’s on top of his game.
His recent 30-night sold out residency concert series in Puerto Rico and upcoming world tour gave and will give people a taste of what he’ll bring to the Super Bowl.
The 31 year old, Grammy-Award winning artist , got the news from Jay-Z when he was working out.
“I didn’t need more pre-workout,” Bad Bunny said in an interview with USA Today, ”It was very special. It was so special.”
Bad Bunny is the first Puerto Rican born artist to take the leading role at a Halftime Show. This is his first time headlining at a Super Bowl, but it is not his first appearance. He was invited to perform alongside Jennifer Lopez and Shakira for the Pepsi Super Bowl LIV Halftime show at Miami in 2020.
Puerto Rican University of Miami students were stoked with the news.
“Having Bad Bunny perform at the superbowl halftime show is an honor.,” Veronica Niebla, Biology major said. “As a Puerto Rican, it fills my heart with pride and joy to see one of our most influential artists reach goals that only a handful of artists have and will.”
“Well, as a Puerto Rican I’m obviously excited. I went to his residency over the summer and I absolutely loved it, so I can’t wait to see how he brings a production of that size to a global stage.” Alejandra Font, Public Relations Major and Marketing minor.
You can watch Super Bowl LX and Bad Bunny’s performance on Sun, Feb 8, 2026 on the NFL app, Tubi, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV and YouTube TV.
