"We had to make a decision on what we were going to do in this game," head coach [URL='http://cuse.com/coaches.aspx?rc=944'][U]Quentin Hillsman[/U][/URL] said. "Their post players are the best in the country. We had to pack our zone in and do a good job keeping them off the glass. The other things we had to do was get every loose ball and 50-50 ball. I thought we did a great job on the glass." Despite a size disadvantage, Syracuse (4-1) controlled the boards against South Carolina (5-0). The Orange owned a 50-35 advantage on the glass. It marked the most rebounds Syracuse had pulled down in a single game during the 2014-15 season. Sophomore center [URL='http://cuse.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=11082'][U]Briana Day[/U][/URL] continued her great play at the Junkanoo Jam. Day recorded her second straight double-double on 13 points and 17 rebounds. For her efforts, Day was named to All-Junkanoo Jam Team, joined by sophomore guard [URL='http://cuse.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=11086'][U]Alexis Peterson[/U][/URL]. Junior guard [URL='http://cuse.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=11079'][U]Brianna Butler[/U][/URL] led the team in scoring for the second time this year, tallying 18 points. "[URL='http://cuse.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=11082'][U]Briana Day[/U][/URL] was tremendous tonight," added Hillsman. "Our game plan was to give them help. We were going to crash our forwards inside, get our guards rebounding. I thought they did a good job of doing that. Our game plan worked really well." In its first game against the top-ranked team in the nation since Feb. 28, 2011 against Connecticut, Syracuse took it to its opponent early, building a sizeable first-half advantage. South Carolina led 10-3 at the 16:52 mark of the first half, before the Orange turned the table. Over the next eight minutes of play, Syracuse would go on a 24-5 run. Junior guard [URL='http://cuse.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=11083'][U]Cornelia Fondren[/U][/URL] had eight points during that run. South Carolina would close the margin, going on a 12-0 run to take a 29-27 lead with 2:35 to play in the first half. Syracuse responded by closing out the half with a 6-2 run. Peterson hit a runner at the buzzer to give the Orange a 35-31 advantage at the half. Out of the break, Syracuse held its momentum from its late run in the first half. The Orange led by 10 points with 6:43 remaining, but South Carolina would use an 11-0 run to take the game back. A back and forth battle would ensue over the final three minutes of play. Day sank two free throws to give the squad a 61-60 lead with 2:06 remaining. It would be the final lead the Orange would hold, as South Carolina junior guard Asia Dozier would hit a 3-point field goal with 1:51 left and Syracuse would not be able to overcome the deficit. The Syracuse University women's basketball team returns to the Carrier Dome for the first time since its season-opener when it takes on Vermont on Monday night. The game will begin at 7 p.m. and will be broadcast on Time Warner Cable SportsChannel. [/QUOTE]
