Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Syracuse). They walked away with a 62-55 victory over the Conestoga Cougars on Friday. That's more bragging rights for the Rockets, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.
Despite the loss, Conestoga saw an underclassman step up: sophomore Grace Rodis went 8 for 12 on her way to 19 points along with six rebounds and three steals. Rodis is on a roll when it comes to steals, as she's now grabbed three or more in the last five games she's played. Davida Garrett was another key player, almost dropping a double-double on nine points and ten boards.
Syracuse's win ended a five-game drought at home and bumped them up to 8-9. As for Conestoga, they have been struggling recently as they've lost seven of their last eight games, which put a noticeable dent in their 4-14 record this season.
