Syracuse women’s basketball: the Orange lose 87-78 to Purdue despite late-game comeback

Undefeated at home, winless on the road.

The Syracuse Orange women’s basketball team (5-1) took on the Purdue Boilermakers (6-1) as the team looked to secure its first win against the Big Ten Conference. Earlier this year, the Orange fell in double-digits to the Penn State Lady Lions on the road after leading the game by as much as 21 points.

This time around, it would be Syracuse making a late-game push in the second half.

In Wednesday evening’s matchup against Purdue, coach Felisha-Legette Jack used a starting lineup of Dyaisha Fair (G), Teisha Hyman (G), Georgia Woolley (G), Dariuana Lewis (F), and Asia Strong (F).
