Syracuse, NY – Syracuse Women’s Basketball (11-17, 6-12 ACC) capped off their regular season at home with a resounding victory over Boston College (15-15, 6-12 ACC) on Sunday evening, avenging an earlier season loss dominantly. Playing perhaps their best game of the year, the Orange led comfortably from start to finish, showcasing composure and confidence on the heels of their recent road win against Pittsburgh. 

The Orange exploded out of the gate, building a 9-point lead in the first quarter and extending it to over 20 points by halftime, outscoring BC 45-20. Syracuse shot 46% from the field in the first half, holding BC to a frigid 25%. Seniors Kyra Wood and Georgia Woolley led the charge with 12 points apiece in the first half.

Syracuse carried their momentum into the second half and closed out strong. Three Syracuse players finished in double figures, Woolley 19, Sophie Burrows 16, and Wood 14. 

The Orange ultimately dominated the stat sheet with 20 assists compared to BC’s 6. The Orange defense was on lock, forcing 21 turnovers and holding Boston College to just 32% shooting (20/62) overall. 

With two minutes remaining, all five seniors re-entered the game to a standing ovation, receiving heartfelt embraces from the coaching staff as they exited the court. The final buzzer went off, and the Orange walked off the court with an 82-57 victory.

The team honored its six graduating seniors – Kyra Wood, Georgia Woolley, Izabel Varejao, Saniaa Wilson, Dominique Camp, and Lexi McNabb – as they walked through a tunnel of Syracuse fans with their friends and family.

Felisha Legette-Jack has recognized that this season has been full of ups and downs, but her ultimate goal has always stayed the same: developing her players as great basketball players and people. 

“Help them become one percent better, sometimes that’s tough love, slamming the door in your face, sometimes it’s hugging them when they don’t want the hug, we went through all the gamuts of that, these ladies here,” said Coach Jack in the post conference. 

The ladies closed out the season as best as possible with back-to-back wins. They shift their focus to prepare for the ACC tournament in Greensboro, North Carolina, next week. 

“What we’re growing here is a sisterhood, what were growing here is a family, it’s our family versus their team,” said Coach Jack. “..This is a personal vendetta that we have right now, on growing this thing differently than it was, and ultimately you will see nets cut down.”
