The Syracuse Orange women’s basketball team trailed for over 80% of the time in Sunday afternoon’s matchup versus the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. Syracuse might’ve been down, but it wasn’t out.
A monster 4th quarter run powered by the Orange’s defense and some late-game heroics from Dyaisha Fair allowed Syracuse to take the lead for good in the game’s final minutes, handing the Orange a 67-58 victory in its first ACC game of the 22-23 season.
Syracuse (8-2, 0-0) entered the game coming off three-straight wins, while Wake Forest (8-3, 0-1) looked to get its first win in the ACC after falling by 20 points to Virginia earlier this season.
