Coming off their fourth loss of the season, the Jackets played in the multi-purpose Carrier Dome for a road matchup against Syracuse. Notably, this was a homecoming game of sorts for fifth year Digna Strautmane, as she transferred from the Orange this year to join the Institute.
Tech quickly got ahead of the Orange, going up six at the end of the first quarter and getting into the bonus less than halfway into the second quarter. Tech scored ten straight to start that second quarter, going up 31-15 before allowing a bucket.
Tech, in a unique occurrence, was actually up 1-0 before the opening tip-off.
