Syracuse Orange women’s basketball picked up a 77-70 win against the Virginia Cavaliers on Tuesday night at the John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville for its first road victory of the 2021-22 season.
The win was just Syracuse’s second triumph in its last 10 games. Tuesday’s contest at Virginia was a makeup from Jan. 16 after that game was postponed due to inclement weather.
The Cavaliers have been a punching bag for the rest of the ACC. Virginia came into the game losers of 11 straight (10 of those in conference play) and with the worst offense in the league, averaging 53 points per game, more than eight points per game behind Georgia Tech, who sits second-to-last in that category.
