History repeated itself on two fronts during the Syracuse Orange women’s basketball team’s (16-10, 7-8) Sunday road matchup against the #10 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (20-4, 11-3).
Similar to its recent win over #14 North Carolina, the Orange’s offense caught fire in the third quarter after struggling in the first half. Syracuse was down as much as 12 points heading into the game’s final 20 minutes, but the Orange outscored the Fighting Irish 30-16 to take a single-digit lead in the fourth quarter.
Unfortunately, that was all the Orange could muster in its upset bid.
