SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Dyaisha Fair started Thursday night accepting a commemorative game ball for surpassing 3,000 career points, an elite mark in the women’s game. She finished it by sending another ranked team out of the JMA Wireless Dome with a loss as she climbs further up the Division I all-time scoring list. She also added a dagger 3 from the logo for fun.
Fair scored a game-high 31 points and hit a program-record nine 3-pointers to lead Syracuse over No. 15 Florida State, 79-73. The Orange (15-2, 5-1 ACC), who were briefly ranked earlier in the month, were one of three unranked teams to upset a ranked opponent in ACC play Thursday night.
