The Orange is seeking revenge against the Hoyas, which upset the Orange, 78-71, in Georgetown on Feb. 2. In that contest, time ran out on SU, despite having four student athletes in double-digits. Sophomore forward Nicole Michael led the way with 16 points, while Goodwin, senior center Vaida Sipaviciute and sophomore forward Vionca Murray each added 11 points.
Syracuse finished shooting 41.7 percent (25-60) from the field, 28.5 percent (6-21) from behind the arc and 71.4 percent (15-21) from the foul line. Both squads totaled 35 rebounds, but the Orange scored nine more second chance points (16-7) and four more points in the lane (24-20).
The Orange is 5-6 all-time on February 26, but has won its last two home games on the date, defeating St. John's in 2002 and Seton Hall in 2005. Syracuse is the proud owner of a 4-1 home record on February 26.
