SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Syracuse (11-11, 5-6 ACC) hosts ACC foe No. 5 Louisville (21-2, 10-1) at the Carrier Dome on Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. on ESPN2. 'Cuse looks to move above .500 on the season and continue its momentum after a strong performance on the road against Boston College.
The Orange will celebrate National Girls and Women in Sports Day with activities in the backcourt prior to tip-off. Student-athletes form Syracuse's volleyball, field hockey, women's soccer, dance, cheer and women's rowing teams will be interacting with fans teaching them the basics of their respective sports. Fans will want to stick around after the game for a post game autograph session with the women's basketball team. Don't forget to visit the marketing table to share who you support in the fight against breast cancer in preparation for next Sunday's Play 4 Kay game against Pittsburgh on Feb. 16.
