SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Behind a 24-point performance by senior Iasia Hemingway, the Orange women's basketball team (15-9, 4-6) defeated USF (12-12, 4-6), 76-61, on Saturday afternoon at the Carrier Dome.
Junior tandem Kayla Alexander and Elashier Hall also scored in double figures, registering 17 and 14 points, respectively. Hemingway also tied her career-high with five assists. Sophomore Rachel Coffey matched her career-best with four steals.
Sophomore Andrell Smith led the visiting Bulls with 18 points on the day.
Syracuse was in control for the entirety of the game, never trailing and leading by as many as 33 with 12 minutes to go. The Orange also owned a 46-35 advantage on the boards.
“That is what we have to do for the rest of the season,” Syracuse head coach Quentin Hillsman said. “We have to continue to play hard and be aggressive in the attack.”
Fueled by seven points from Hemingway, the Orange took a 14-5 advantage to open the game. The Orange continued its hot shooting, scoring 10 consecutive points to push its lead to 34-14 with 4:56 remaining in the first half. Alexander recorded five points on the run.
With its 19-point advantage at the break, Syracuse held its largest lead at halftime in a BIG EAST conference game since the team led Seton Hall 42-21 on Jan. 5, 2010.
Coming out of the halftime intermission, SU immediately seized the momentum. The team went on a 15-2 run to take a 54-22 lead with 15:16 remaining. With 11:17 left in regulation, Hemingway hit a jumper to give the Orange a 33-point lead, its largest of the game.
Going into the game, Syracuse had made 25 consecutive free throws. The team made its first six attempts of the game, before missing its first in 32 tries.
The Orange is back in action Tuesday, Feb. 7 when they host No. 2/2 Notre Dame at the Carrier Dome. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m.
