MIAMI, Fla. – The Georgia State women's basketball team (4-5, 0-0 SBC) wraps up its two-day Florida swing with a matchup against the Miami Hurricanes (5-3, 0-0 ACC). The Panthers and the Canes are set to tip off on Sunday, Dec. 7, at 2 p.m. inside the Watsco Center. 

SERIES HISTORY 
Georgia State trails the all-time series against Miami, with the Canes holding a 5-3 advantage across eight meetings. Miami took control over the history, claiming the last three wins in the series. This game will break the stalemate in Miami as the series sits at 2-2. The most recent meeting came on November 10, 2006, when Miami secured a 68-60 victory. 

BETWEEN THE LINES 
The Miami Hurricanes enter their upcoming matchup looking to regain early-season momentum after opening the year with five straight wins before dropping their last two contests to Ohio State and Kentucky. Miami has shown strong offensive consistency, posting double figures in every quarter this season, including seven quarters with 20 or more points. With the loss of all five starters from the 2024-25 campaign, Miami's lineup at the Watsco Center features a dramatically reshaped roster. The Hurricanes retained only two players from last season, sophomore Ahnay Adams and redshirt freshman Simone Pelish. To replenish the roster, Miami added 12 newcomers, including seven transfers from the portal and five freshmen, forming a group that ESPNW ranked as the No. 10 recruiting class in the nation. 

CRYSTAL CLEAR 
Junior leader Crystal Henderson was named to the 2025-26 Preseason All-Sun Belt Second Team following a stellar 2024-25 campaign. Henderson started all 33 games for the Panthers, leading the team in assists (128, 3.9 pg), steals (79, 2.4 pg), minutes played (1,163, 35.2 pg) and assist-to-turnover ratio (1.42). She finished second on the team in scoring with 379 points (11.5 ppg) and recorded 20 double-digit games, including four 20+ point performances. Henderson led the Sun Belt in minutes per game, ranked second in the conference in steals and steals per game, and finished fourth in assists and assist-to-turnover ratio.  
Henderson was also named 2023-24 Sun Belt Freshman of the Year after leading all Sun Belt freshmen in scoring, steals and assists, and finishing top five in assists among all freshmen in the NCAA during the 2023-24 season. Henderson's honors marked the third Freshman of the Year honors in program history, and the first since the 2016-17 season.  

SUN BELT DOMINANCE  
The Panthers continue to showcase their Sun Belt dominance through their nonconference stretch of the 2025-26 campaign. Georgia State leads the conference in free throws made per game (16.0) and sits third in steals per game (13.7), while forcing an impressive 22.78 turnovers per contest, landing them fourth in the SBC. The Panthers also rank fifth in scoring offense, averaging 74.8 points per game. Individually, Crystal Henderson remains one of the conference's most dynamic guards, ranking second in total points (152), total assists (40), and field goals made (56), while standing third in both points per game (16.9) and assists per game (4.4). Morgan Robinson-Nwagwu adds to GSU's efficiency, leading the Sun Belt in total free throws made (39) and ranking fifth in free-throw percentage at 81.3%. 

FRESH FACES 
Georgia State welcomes six new faces to the roster for 2025-26, including two freshmen and four transfers ready to make an impact. Freshmen Savannah Robinson-Holmes and Grace Lanier bring youthful energy and potential, while transfers Ana Luiza Ramos Pires (Garden City CC), Nari Powers (Salt Lake CC), Ari Dyson (Trinity Valley CC), and ACC Power Four standout Gabbie Grooms brings collegiate experience and depth to bolster the Panthers' lineup. 

SO INTERNATIONAL  
Georgia State's roster features international flare with Finland native Monna Julkunen and Ana Luiza Ramos Pires from São Paulo, Brazil. A returning sophomore, Julkunen brings experience in Blue and White after appearing in 24 games last season. Pires joins the Panthers as a transfer from Garden City Community College, where she started nearly every game over two seasons.  

HOLLOMAN HONORS  
Graduate student Cheyenne Holloman was named a 2026 Kay Yow Servant Leader Award recipient, recognizing her dedication to service and leadership beyond the court. Presented by the Kay Yow Cancer Fund, the award honors collegiate athletes who exemplify the values of legendary NC State coach Kay Yow, whose legacy continues through the fund's mission to advance cancer research and support women impacted by the disease. 

HISTORIC SEASON OPENER 
Georgia State opened the season in historic fashion Monday night, defeating Oglethorpe 108-59 at the GSU Convocation Center. The performance ranked third all-time in GSU history for both steals (26) and points (108) in a single game, marking one of the most dominant outings in program history. 

SINCE '08 
Crystal Henderson lit up the court in Georgia State's season opener against Oglethorpe, pouring in 24 points. That performance marks the first time since 2008 that a player has scored 24 or more points in a GSU season opener. 

LANIER LEGACY  
Grace Lanier etched her name into the record book with a standout performance against the FIU Panthers. The freshman posted her first collegiate double-double and shattered the GSU single-game steals record with 10 steals. She surpassed the previous mark of nine, set by Jylisa Williams against Delaware State on Dec. 21, 2008.
