The Syracuse Orange women’s basketball team fell to the No. 17 Duke Blue Devils 74-65 on Sunday afternoon at the Carrier Dome.
It was only Syracuse’s second loss at the Dome this season and its first since Nov. 14 against Notre Dame.
At the midway point of the season, the Orange sit at 8-7 overall and 1-3 in ACC play. That doesn’t tell the whole story. The doldrums of a 2-4 start were replaced by a six-game winning streak with notable triumphs over Ohio State and Clemson. Now, Syracuse is in the middle of another dip on the rollercoaster, with Sunday’s loss sending the Orange to their third straight loss.
