The Miami Hurricanes hosted the Hurricane Invitational at the Knight Complex this weekend and brought the crowd to their feet on two consecutive nights for back to back wins.

“They were heroic with their rotations. If I was a shooter, I wouldn’t want either one of these two running at me.”

"It was a special game for me, a special moment," Cornelius said. "I wasn't really nervous, but it was really special. I was really excited. We played well. I got to scored again. I got to pass again, run through the smoke again, this time in a jersey, not in a sweatsuit."

“It’s awesome to get this win because you can’t downplay the rivalry Miami and Florida State have,” coach Jose “Keno” Gandara said.

But what makes this connection especially eye-catching is that these two players are the shortest and tallest ones on the team. Lukianova stands 6-foot-6, while Duque is 5-foot-2.

The redshirt senior set a school record with 17 saves in a single-match. North Carolina notched 19 shots on goal, while the Miami didn't register a shot on goal.
