The women’s Syracuse basketball team received great news for their upcoming campaign as Tiana Mangakahia was granted eligible for the upcoming 2020-2021 campaign. Mangakahia returns after missing last season because of her battle with Stage 2 breast cancer.
Mangakahia will be given a sixth year of eligibility because of the extenuating circumstances due to her diagnosis last season that put a pause on her collegiate basketball career.
