Meet the 2024-25 Miami Women’s Basketball Team Captains

The Hurricanes women’s basketball team is already hard at work training at the Susan and Steven Simon Training Center in preparation for the 2024-25 season. With about a month and a half to go until the start of the season, Canes head coach Tricia Cullop has named five of her players captains.

Jasmyne Roberts

A 6-foot-2 senior guard from Jacksonville, Fla., Roberts has bled orange and green since she made her debut on campus in 2021. She has improved every year she has stepped on the court. After playing just 225 total minutes her freshman season, she has emerged as a starter averaging 11.1 points per game. Roberts looks to excel in her final season.

Natalija Marshall

The 6-foot-5 graduate transfer from Notre Dame will bring a winning mindset to Miami. Natalija Marshall’s senior season was her best, setting career highs in several categories. Marshall averaged five points, 3.7 rebounds and 20.2 minutes per game, including finishing the season with eight multi-block games and helping the Fighting Irish win the 2024 ACC Tournament championship. Marshall should be a significant presence in the paint.

Cameron Williams

Another graduate transfer, this time from Michigan, forward Cameron Williams is hoping to take her excellent game to sunny South Florida. Appearing in all 34 games last season, half as a starter, Williams posted double-digit scoring numbers 12 times. She also had two double-doubles last season, including a 16-point, 10-rebound effort against Wisconsin. Williams has proven herself to be a big-time player who can play defense as well as score.

The Cavinder Twins are back and will both serve as captains for the 2024-25 season. The guards, who graduated from Gilbert, Arizona, will take the court for one final season in their collegiate careers after not playing college basketball last year. The Cavinders were key to Miami’s run to the 2023 Elite Eight.

Haley Cavalier

Haley started every game of the 2022-23 campaign. She led the Hurricanes in scoring with 12.2 points per game, three-point percentage, free throw percentage and minutes per game.

In her first season at Miami, Haley surpassed the 2,000-point mark with 16 points against Louisville. She also recorded a career-high 33 points against Florida State.

Hanna Cavinder

Hanna was a big spark as a backup during the 2022-23 season. She recorded the fewest turnovers on the team and led the Hurricanes in assists-to-turnovers ratio at 2.3:1 in 34 games played. Hanna was also a member of the 2023 ACC All-Academic Team.

The Canes have some experienced leaders on their team, and Cullop will need to lean on them in his first season in Coral Gables. Their revamped team is looking to return to the NCAA Tournament.
