The Syracuse women’s basketball team snapped a four-game losing streak with an 83-65 victory over Pittsburgh at the JMA Wireless Dome on Thursday night.
The win marked Syracuse’s 27th consecutive triumph over the Panthers and improved their record to 11-17 overall and 5-12 in ACC play.
Georgia Woolley led the Orange with a season-high 25 points on 50% shooting. She also contributed nine assists and five rebounds. Sophie Burrows added 21 points, shooting an impressive 61.5% from the field, while Kyra Wood chipped in 14 points on 87.5% shooting and led the team with eight rebounds.
Syracuse took control early, building a seven-point lead midway through the first quarter and never looking back. They led by as much as 20 in the first half and went into halftime with a 38-29 advantage. After a competitive third quarter, the Orange dominated the final period, scoring 29 points to seal the 18-point victory.
Syracuse now prepares to host Boston College on Sunday at 4 p.m. for Senior Night, where six players will be honored following the final game of the regular season.
