1/15/2019 9:26:00 AM | Women's Basketball
Syracuse, N.Y. – On Sunday, Tiana Mangakahia had one of the best games of her career in 12th-ranked Syracuse's 90-77 win over North Carolina.
As the team won its eighth-straight game and improved to 3-0 in the Atlantic Coast Conference, the toughest league in women's college basketball, Mangakahia etched her name in the Syracuse record books.
With 34 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, Mangakahia recorded her first career triple- double and the first points-rebounds-assists triple-double in program history. She joins the ranks of Cornelia Fondren, Chris Palombi and Martha Mogish as one of four Orange women to record triple doubles in school history.
Mangakahia had 18 points, six rebounds and six assists in the first half against the Tar Heels. She moved to 10th all-time in career assists in just 47 games. Mangakahia was 4-for-4 from three-point range, guiding Syracuse to a program-record 12 threes in a half.
In the second half, while nearly 5,000 fans in the Carrier Dome were tracking Mangakahia's stat line in hopes of seeing the first Syracuse triple- double since 2015, she scored her 800th career point.
Mangakahia is averaging 17.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 8.0 assists per game this season. She ranks third in the nation in assists (128) and assists per game (8.0) and 19th in free throw percentage (.896).
In 47 games at Syracuse, Mangakahia has 815 points, 432 assists, 203 rebounds and averages 17.3 points per game while the Orange have a 43-11 record during that span.
Mangakahia is on the Nancy Lieberman Point Guard Watch List and the Citizen Naismith Trophy Watch List and is a three-time ACC Player of the week.
What they are saying about Mangakahia…
Mangakahia and the 12th-ranked Orange will play a pair of ACC road games this week at Pittsburgh on Thursday and Georgia Tech Sunday. Both games can be streamed on ACC Network Extra.
Syracuse returns home Jan. 23 to face Miami. Tickets are available online.
