The Miami Hurricanes women’s basketball program has traded wins for losses over the last 38 days, which started and ended with two losses to the polished Syracuse Orange by double-digits at home and on the road.
Unable to kindle their first Atlantic Coast Conference winning streak of the season, Miami (6-5, 3-5 ACC) dropped their fourth game in six matchups versus No. 24 Syracuse at the Carrier Dome (N.Y.) on Sunday, 99-64, allowing Orange freshman guard Priscilla Williams to lead her team with a career-high 26 points.
The Canes were unable to contain their second-place conference opponent from the opening tip, allowing the Orange to connect on six 3-point field goals in the first quarter, which resulted in 32 points through just ten minutes.
