Syracuse responded from a blowout loss at North Carolina with a 13 point win at Boston College on Sunday. The win came despite not having star point guard Tiana Mangakahia as she continues to recover from a leg injury suffered against Penn State. 

Without Mangakahia, Syracuse relied on their two star freshmen and fellow star backcourt mate Kiara Lewis. Freshman center Kamilla Cardoso scored a game high 24 points on 10-11 shooting and grabbed rebounds. Freshman guard Priscilla Williams added 14 points while Kiara Lewis poured in 20 while dishing out eight assists. 

After falling behind 3-0, Syracuse went on a 23-6 run to take control of the game. Boston College would never serious challenge the Orange the rest of the game. The lead did get trimmed to eight, but Syracuse would respond to maintain that control. 

Syracuse shot 54.4% from the floor and even altered their offensive philosophy a bit. Syracuse had attempted at least 26 three pointers in each of its four games. In this one, however, they attempted a season low 14. Instead, Syracuse attacked the basket which led to 52 points in the paint and a much higher shooting percentage. 

Syracuse dominated the boards, controlled the paint on both ends and used their size to their advantage. With the win, the Orange improve to 5-1 (2-1) on the season. Each of their three conference games to date have been on the road. They return to the Dome for their next game against Morgan State on December 28th. They have a rematch with North Carolina on New Years' Eve in their next ACC contest.

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.
