11/16/2017 9:23:00 PM | Women's Basketball
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The Orange move to 2-0 on the season after topping Maryland Eastern Shore (1-2), 68-45, Thursday night at the Carrier Dome. Three Syracuse athletes recorded double-digit games, including a career-high 16 points by sophomore guard Tiana Mangakahia.
HOW IT WAS DECIDED
The Orange got off to a slow start in the first quarter but used 7-0 run late in the quarter, capped by a 3-pointer by Raven Fox, to open up a 15-10 lead at the end of the first quarter
A 9-0 run in the second quarter by Maryland Eastern Shore pulled the Hawks to within five, 29-24 with 2:13 remaining in the period, but Miranda Drummond hit a three-point field goal to put a halt to the visitor's momentum. The Orange took a 34-31 lead into halftime.
Syracuse came out ready to play in the second half, outscoring the Hawks 34 to 14, highlighted by a 12-0 run late in the fourth quarter.
OF NOTE
Drummond led the Orange in points (19) and rebounds (eight), shooting 5-for-9 from the field and 3-for-7 from beyond the arc.
With 16 points and 10 assists, Mangakahia notched her first collegiate double-double. She has recorded 10+ assists in consecutive games to open the season.

Q'S THOUGHTS
"Obviously, this was not the greatest game that we have played, but I thought during the second half we turned around and played really well," said head coach Quentin Hillsman. "Overall, I'm just really happy with the win—the second half felt amazing. This is a really young team and we've got to give them a lot of credit. They really gunned down in the second half and got this thing done."
UP NEXT
