Syracuse WBB alum Brittney Sykes ties WNBA record

The Syracuse Orange women’s basketball program is enjoying the best stretch in program history and that success is translating to the professional ranks. On Sunday Brittney Sykes of the Atlanta Dream put herself in the WNBA record books with an offensive explosion.

Incredible performance from @BrittBundlez tonioght. Her 22 pts in the 3rd quarter matched a @WNBA record held by Diana Taurasi for most points in a quarter.
