Syracuse guard Kiara Lewis was waiting, dribbling at the top of the key, with SU leading 61-57 on the road against Pittsburgh. As the defense rotated, the fifth-year senior made her move, driving past a couple of defenders before leaping for a layup.
Pittsburgh forward Cynthia Ezeja jumped to contest, misdirecting the shot but fouling Lewis in the process. Lewis walked slowly to the free-throw line and readied to shoot.
