The upset bid just simply wasn’t in the cards for the Syracuse Orange women’s basketball team Thursday night in Raleigh. The Orange lost to the No. 8 N.C. State Wolfpack by a score of 69-60.
In the first five minutes of this one, the pace of play was very good for both teams as Syracuse and N.C. State were getting good looks and connecting on several shots. The Pack started honing in on defense however and were able to get out to a pretty decent lead, as a Kayla Jones three pointer at the two minute mark made gave them a 20-11 advantage.
