As the snow fell outside the Carrier Dome on Saturday morning, the Syracuse Orange women’s basketball team was busy collecting its sixth consecutive win, downing UMBC 82-50. It was Syracuse’s fourth straight victory of at least 30 points.
It was one of the few games this season where the Orange enjoyed a legitimate size advantage. Syracuse won the rebounding margin 41-32 and posted 40 points in the paint.
All five Orange starters came into the game averaging double-figures, with the trend continuing on Saturday.
Chrislyn Carr tied the game-high with 18 points on six-of-10 shooting from the field and a three-of-four effort from deep.
