We’ve been down this road before with the Syracuse Orange women’s basketball team (14-9, 5-7). Coming into its Thursday night road matchup against the #13 Virginia Tech Hokies (18-4, 8-4), the Orange competed strongly for three quarters but struggled to finish off games late in the fourth quarter against ranked opponents.
Against the Hokies, history repeated itself yet again as Syracuse trailed by just two points heading into the last 10 minutes of the game. Virginia Tech outscored ‘Cuse 26-14 in the fourth quarter, including a scoring run that saw the Hokies go up as much as 72-55.
