Syracuse women's basketball (3-0) looks to stay perfect when it hosts Canisius (2-1) at 7 p.m. Sunday at the JMA Wireless Dome. The game will be broadcast on the ACC Network.
The Orange are averaging 79.0 points per game while allowing just 51.3, a scoring margin of +27.7. Their defense has been a driving force, forcing 23.3 turnovers per game, third in the ACC, and holding opponents to 31.5 percent shooting. Syracuse has also scored at least 42 points in the paint in every game.
Uche Izoje leads the way at 20.0 points and 10.7 rebounds per game. Fresh off her 16th career double-double against Siena, she is on the Naismith Trophy and Lisa Leslie Award watch lists. Emely Rodriguez (12.7 ppg) and Tyi Skinner (12.0 ppg) have also scored in double figures in all three games, and Skinner ranks fifth in the ACC in three-point percentage at 50 percent.
Syracuse has won the last three meetings with Canisius, including a 96-72 victory on Nov. 11, 2025, and leads the all-time series 12-2. A win would extend the Orange's home winning streak to six games and give head coach Felisha Legette-Jack her 84th victory at Syracuse.
