Hanna Cavinder is un-retiring from basketball and going back to a place she knows best: Miami.

On Wednesday, Cavinder shared the news that, like twin sister Haley, she is re-joining the college basketball world. Hanna has one year of NCAA eligibility remaining and plans to return to Miami, where she spent the 2022-2023 season. During her time with the Hurricanes, she averaged 3.8 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists coming off the bench.

Hanna ultimately shared these words with her followers via social media:

“Over these past few months, I have been itching to get back to the game that I thought I lost the love and passion for. Nothing quite fills the void that this sport brings me.

With that all being said, I have decided to return for one more season. Let’s run it back, Miami. I had a purpose before everyone had an opinion.”
