Syracuse Orange alumnae Brittney Sykes and Kayla Alexander played on opposite benches Monday night in a match-up between the Los Angeles Sparks and the Minnesota Lynx. The Lynx ended the Sparks’ nine-game win streak with a 96-78 win.
Both former Orange women had quiet nights. Sykes was held to just four points, a rebound, and a block. Alexander did not make an appearance in her team’s win.
Sykes, the highest-drafted player in Syracuse WBB history (seventh overall), had one of her best performances this season Sunday night. Against her former team the Atlanta Dream, Sykes tallied a team-high 15 points and added four rebounds and three assists.
