From there, the Orange made 7 of 8 free throws to hold off Miami. During the nearly seven-minute run, Syracuse was 7-of-13 shooting to 3 of 11 for Miami

Beatrice Mompremier scored 27 points with 10 rebounds, Emese Hof added a season-high-tying 25 points and Mykea Gray had 13 for the fourth-seeded Hurricanes (24-8).

Syracuse took its first lead early in a 31-point second quarter and extended it to 13, 50-37, by halftime. The lead was 15 midway through the third quarter when the Hurricanes began their comeback sparked by six straight points by Mompremier, and Miami was within five to start the fourth quarter.
