Syracuse Orange

Syracuse women's basketball used a dominant second quarter to pick up its second road win of the season, topping Clemson 91-77. With the victory, the Orange improved to 12-4 (3-2), while the Tigers dropped to 11-6 (2-3). Next up for SU is at Boston College on Thursday. The game tips at 7:00 p.m. and will be broadcast on ACC Network Xtra. 

Clemson jumped ahead early and held a seven point lead after the first quarter. That is when Syracuse took over. The Orange started the quarter on a 7-0 run to tie the game before Clemson went on a 9-2 spurt to take a seven point lead back. Dyaisha Fair and Georgia Woolley then took control of the game. 

Syracuse ended the quarter on a 16-1 run, with 14 of those points scored by either Fair or Woolley, to take an eight point advantage into halftime. The Orange pushed the lead to as much as 17 in the third quarter and held a 12 point edge entering the final frame. 

The Tigers would not go away quietly, however, using a 10-0 run to cut Syracuse's lead to just four with 6:28 remaining. The game would stay close until the final three minutes, with Syracuse ending the game on a 12-2 run. 

Dyaisha Fair finished the game with 27 points on 8-15 shooting including 6-11 from beyond the arc. Georgia Woolley added 14 points, five assists and six steals. Tyeisha Hyman also contributed 14 points and five assists to go along with six rebounds. Dariauna Lewis and Asia Strong each had double-doubles.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
