Syracuse women’s basketball: ball movement, paint dominance guide Orange to 83-53 victory over Wagner

It was an absolutely scorching-hot performance by the Syracuse Orange women’s basketball team in its Sunday afternoon matchup with the Wagner Seahawks.

Syracuse (7-2) entered the contest coming off back-to-back wins against Yale and Coppin State, while Wagner (4-4) looked to return back to above-.500.

In Sunday afternoon’s matchup against Wagner, coach Felisha-Legette Jack used the same starting lineup that made its debut in the Orange’s last game versus Coppin State: Dyaisha Fair (G), Teisha Hyman (G), Georgia Woolley (G), Alaina Rice (G), and Dariuana Lewis (F).

The Orange shot lights out from tip-off, finishing the first quarter with a 27-12 lead thanks to a 9/17 team performance from the field to begin the game.
