Syracuse will host first and second round contests for the first time in program history
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The Syracuse University women's basketball is in the NCAA Tournament for the fourth-straight year and will host first and second round contests in the Carrier Dome for the first time in program history.
Syracuse (25-7) is the No. 4 seed in the Sioux Falls Region, its best seed in school history, and will play No. 13 seed Army West Point (29-2) on Friday, March 18 at 2:30 p.m. in the friendly confines of the Carrier Dome. The other first-round matchup in the Carrier Dome pits No. 5 seed Florida (22-8) and No. 12 seed Albany (27-4) at noon. Both games will be televised on ESPN2. The winners will meet in the second round on Sunday, March 20 with a trip to the Sweet 16 on the line.
All 2015-16 Orange women's basketball season ticket holders will have the first opportunity to purchase seats, which the NCAA sells in a reserved seating format, beginning on Monday at 8 p.m. The next opportunity to purchase tickets will go to all current Syracuse University athletics donors; 2015-16 season ticket holders for men's basketball, football and men's lacrosse; and those who purchased women's basketball group tickets in 2015-16. That group will have access to purchase tickets at 10 p.m. on Monday. Individuals in these groups will receive an email from the Carrier Dome box office with details to purchase tickets through a MyCuse account.
Tickets go on sale to the general public at 11 a.m. on Tuesday.
All session tickets (three games) are $30 for adults and $15 for youth, college students with ID, and senior citizens. Single session prices for the first round (two games) are $20 for adults and $10 for youth, college students with ID, and senior citizens. Group tickets (20 or more) are $10 for adults and $8 for youth. Single session prices for the second round (one game) are $15 for adults and $10 for youth, college students with ID, and senior citizens. Group tickets (20 or more) are $10 for adults and $8 for youth.
The Orange are making their eighth trip to the NCAA Tournament in school history and fifth under head coach Quentin Hillsman. SU is one of 19 programs to advance to the second round of NCAA Tournament in each of the past two seasons.
Syracuse is in the midst of one of its best seasons in the history of the program. Coming off a run to the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament final, the Orange are one victory shy of matching the school's single-season record. The team has been recognized nationally, earning its best all-time rankings in the Associated Press and USA Today Coaches Polls.
Junior guard Alexis Peterson, an All-ACC First Team honoree, paces the club in scoring, averaging 14.9 points per game. Peterson was also named to the league's all-defensive team. Senior guard Brianna Butler, the nation's active career 3-point field goals made leader, averages 13.8 points game per contest. Butler notched second-team all-conference merits, as well.
