Syracuse came into this game extremely short-handed due to suspensions and injuries. Add to that it being their third game in three days so it seemed like the Cards might have an easy afternoon. However despite a double-digit win it always felt like the Orange were within reach. The Cards held strong though and ended up winning the game by a respectable 72-59 score.
Dana Evans continued to struggle with her scoring. She finished the game with 13 but her first came with about 4 minutes left in the first half and she was 0 of 5 from the 3-point line.
