Despite a great team effort, Syracuse falls just short of a big upset bid at No. 4 Tennessee. Orange suffer first loss of the season.
Syracuse put up a great fight against No. 4 Tennessee in Knoxville yesterday, losing in the final minutes to a very good team, 57-55. Junior Guard, Alexis Peterson, led all scorers with 19 points. She also added seven rebounds in an outstanding effort. However the Syracuse Orange was unable to score down the stretch, missing eight shots and two free throws in the final 4 minutes.
On a more positive note, Brittney Sykes looked like her old self.
