WBB | RIDING HIGH: NCAAs all but certain after upset
By Kyle Austin
It was the capstone on Quentin Hillsman's dream season. A 22-point trouncing of No. 13 West Virginia at home in Syracuse's season finale, to secure the team's 22nd win in resounding fashion. But the second-year Syracuse head coach isn't comfortable with his team's 22-7 record - 10-6 in the conference - a six seed in the Big East tournament and two wins over ranked teams as he looks toward the NCAA Tournament.
WBB | Rookies Morrow, Jones steal show from seniors with 47 total points
By Michael Bonner
On a night when Syracuse honored five seniors playing its final game at the Carrier Dome, it was a pair of first-year SU players who made Monday night memorable for the Orange. Freshman Erica Morrow and junior college transfer Chandrea Jones were the only Orange players to score in double figures, combining for 47 of the team's 73 points.
Reilly: No pro team leads to excessive coverage to former SU athletes
By Matt Reilly
When Perry Patterson was signed and then quickly released by the Arena Football League's Columbus Destroyers last week, the local television stations thought it was news, and the segment made its rounds on the evening newscasts. Just to lay out the facts of the scenario clearly: a two-year removed, historically underachieving, former Syracuse quarterback had a less than 48-hour stint with a team that most people have never heard of, which plays in a second-tier professional league.
WLAX | Gait disappointed in Orange's response in defeat at Virginia
By Christopher James
Taken out of its comfort zone and trailing for the first time all season, Syracuse wilted Saturday instead of relying on the Gary Gait trademark of creativity that had blossomed in a 2-0 start to the season. The No. 6 Orange lost to No. 2 Virginia, 13-8, on the road.
TEN | Slow starts plague Syracuse in back-to-back losses
By Meredith Galante
Syracuse tennis head coach Luke Jensen believes winning the first point of a match sets the tone for a win. In the Orange's past four losses, the team did not once earn the opening point from winning the doubles portion of the match. Jensen said an overwhelming amount of teams that win the first point of the match, from the doubles play, go on to win the match.
SB | Losing streak reaches 13 games as Syracuse's average falls to .174
By Michael Bonner
"Great" would probably not be at the top of the list of words describing the Syracuse softball team, especially its offense. The Orange (0-13) has scored just 17 runs in 13 games, and the highest individual batting average on the team is .237 (by Rachel Tilford).
