Syracuse Orange

Syracuse women's basketball star Dyaisha Fair was named Co-Player of the Week by the ACC on Monday. She shared the weekly honor with Virginia Tech's Elizabeth Kitley. It is the second time in three weeks Fair earned the award, though the previous time she won it outright. 

The Orange went 1-1 last week, falling at 16th ranked Louisville before winning at Boston College. The game against the Cardinals was a tough loss, but Fair shined once again. She scored 28 points in the loss. That was not her best performance of the week, however. 

Fair would tie a career high with 38 points to lead Syracuse to a come from behind win at Boston College. She moved into sixth place on the NCAA Division I all-time scoring list as a result. 

More from the ACC on Fair's performance this past week. 

Fair averaged 33.0 points and finished 9-for-20 in Syracuse’s pair of conference games last week. The Rochester, New York, native opened her week with a game-high 28 points with four rebounds and four assists in Thursday’s setback at No. 16 Louisville. On Sunday, the guard posted a season-high 38 points, headlined by five 3-pointers, to pace the Orange to a road win at Boston College. Fair has made at least three 3-pointers in every ACC game this season, as she moved into sixth place on the NCAA Division I all-time scoring list.

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.
