SYRACUSE, N.Y.- The Orange women's basketball team improved its record to 10-1 after defeating down-the-road foe Binghamton (6-4) 72-54 Tuesday night at the JMA Wireless Dome. Dominique Darius' 17-point game and Uche Izoje's double-double helped put SU past the Bearcats for the fourteenth time in program history.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Laila Phelia gets the game started, scoring a two-point jumper off the Orange's tipoff win. The first quarter went back-and-forth between both teams, but Syracuse was able to come out leading 12-11. SU had 11 rebounds in the first ten minutes, with Izoje accounting for three of them.

Syracuse found its flame in the second quarter as Dominique Darius hit two buckets in a row from beyond the arc. Darius carried the momentum, adding 12 points to the quarter and leading Syracuse on a 21-5 scoring streak. Shy Hawkins completed a three-point play after she was fouled on a fadeaway jumper. A fastbreak layup by Sophie Burrows gave Syracuse the 39-28 advantage to round out the first half.

The Orange stole the ball from Binghamton two possessions in a row, but were unable to find the net. SU defense forced four turnovers and kept the Bearcats scoreless for three minutes and 33 seconds at one point in the third quarter. Eight different Orange players contributed points this quarter, giving Syracuse a 57-35 lead over Binghamton.

The Syracuse bench took over in the final quarter, scoring nine of the 15 points. Across the board, the Orange collected 12 rebounds and four steals. Despite back-and-forth scoring between both teams in the fourth quarter, SU was able to pull away with the 72-54 victory.
