Syracuse women’s basketball: Fair drops 28 points, offense powers Orange to 101-53 win over Central Connecticut

Heading into Friday night’s game versus the Central Connecticut Blue Devils, it was anticipated that the Syracuse Orange women’s basketball team (2-0) would win with ease.

However, Felisha Legette-Jack and the Orange took that expectation to a whole other level as Syracuse’s offense dropped 101 points in a 48-point win versus Central Connecticut. In a game where Syracuse shot 63% from the field and 7/15 from three, the program scored 100 points for the first time in the Legette-Jack era.

Superstar Dyaisha Fair led the way with a season-high 28 points on one of her more efficient nights as a member of the Orange — 10/17 from the field (59%) and 5/9 from three (56%).
