The Miami Hurricanes women’s basketball team suffered their first loss of the season Thursday night, when the Canes fell 69-58, to the No. 20/18 Syracuse Orange.
Redshirt junior Destiny Harden was the only Canes player to score in double digits with 11 points as Miami struggled to get a good offensive flow against a bigger and tougher Syracuse team. Miami freshman Nyayongah Gony also added 8 points but said that Syracuse’s length was something she wasn’t used to.
“That was definitely new because I’m usually shooting over people who are 5-foot-8 at best,” Gony said.
Miami finished the game shooting just 29.
