Syracuse Beats Siena Again

This time, it's the ladies who get the job done against Siena. Coach Q's teams got it done a little easier then the men did posting a 78-59 win. The Orange fell behind early 15-11, but went on a big 30-11 run during the first half to make it 40-22. From there S.U. never looked back as the lead rarely dipped below 15 points the rest of the game.

Newcomer Chandra Jones led the attack again scoring 24 and grabbing 12 boards. She was out rebounded by teammate Fantasia Goodwin who pull down 14 rebounds and scored 19 points.

S.U. severely struggled from the field in the second half, shooting just 22.2%, but Siena bailed them out by sending the Orange to line 34 times in the second half. The 'Cuse did struggle from the line hitting just 22 of 34 free throws, but it was enough to put Siena to bed. Syracuse also out-rebounded Siena 49-31.

The win is their 10th in a row and the Orange are off to an 11-1 start with the only loss to UNC. The Orange close out their non-conference schedule on the last day of 2007 against St. Bonaventure. Conference play will begin next Saturday against Louisville.
