Syracuse (3-0) pushed its winning streak to three games with a decisive 92-59 win against in-state foe Binghamton (2-1). The Orange commanded both ends of the floor, shooting 50 percent from the field and holding the Bearcats to a 30.9 shooting percentage. 'Cuse wins three-straight games to start a season for the first time since 2020-21.

Senior guard Dyaisha Fair led the team in scoring with 19 points. The Rochester, N.Y., native also dished out a game-high eight assists.

WHEN THE GAME WAS DECIDED:

With 6:15 left in the first quarter, Binghamton took a 10-9 lead with a three pointer from Genevieve Coleman. The Orange took control of the game from that point, as a three-pointer from Fair put 'Cuse back in front, 12-10, with 5:33 on the clock. Fair's three-point field goal sparked a 38-14 run to end the first half and the Orange never looked back.

COACH LEGETTE-JACK SAID:

"What a great team win, our young ladies had to rally together," head coach Felisha Legette-Jack said. "I really like that it doesn't matter who it is. If you've got that Syracuse shirt on, you come to play."
