1/14/2023 12:24:00 PM | Women's Basketball
Syracuse hosts No. 7 Notre Dame at 2 p.m. on Sunday in Atlantic Coast Conference action at the JMA Wireless Dome. The Orange (13-4, 4-2 ACC) ride a three-game win streak into Sunday's matchup on ACC Network.
It's Doggy Day and Otto's Kids Club Day in the Dome so fans are encouraged to come out and support the Orange with a full slate of fan engaging activities including halftime photos with Otto, basketball bingo with prizes and a Frisbee giveaway as you exit the game for the four-legged friends attending.Â
Syracuse is coming of a 10-point road win at Boston College last Thursday night (83-73). The Orange have won three-straight ACC games and are averaging 77.9 points per game while shooting 43.1 percent from the field. Dariauna Lewis has had back-to-back double doubles and Dyaisha Fair is coming off her ninth 20-plus point game this season.Â
Notre Dame has four players averaging double figures for a balanced attack. Olivia Miles paces the Fighting Irish offense with 15.0 points and 7.1 assists per game (6th in the country). She adds 7.8 rebounds per game and has a team-high 35 steals on the season. Sonia Citron is adding 14.3 ppg while Maddy Westbeld has 10.9 points and 6.5 rebounds per game.Â
Notre Dame leads the all-time series 36-3 and last beat Syracuse, 83-62, on Jan. 27, 2022 in South Bend, Ind. All three of Syracuse's wins over Notre Dame have been at home, most recently a 81-69 win at the Dome on Ja. 31, 2021.Â
Fans attending Sunday's game with their dog must enter through Gates A & C. All dogs must be leashed at all times and suggested seating sections for fans with four-legged friends are between 103-105 and 111-114. Relief stations will be located outside Gates A & C, as well.Â
Owners must bring documentation from their vet showing vaccination records as well as a license and registration.Â
