After two postponements, with opponents Louisville and Notre Dame both having COVID-19 cases, Syracuse returned to the court for the first time in 10 days against Virginia Tech.
In the road matchup, SU donned new custom pink and white jerseys for breast cancer awareness, made by SU graphic design student Noah Hammerman. Sunday’s matchup was Virginia Tech’s #Play4Kay game, in support of the Kay Yow Cancer Fund.
Virginia Tech (12-7, 7-7 Atlantic Coast Conference) scored early and often against Syracuse (11-6, 8-6), eventually downing the Orange 76-68 after scoring 44 first half points. Virginia Tech sharpshooter Cayla King finished with 14 points, while guard Aisha Sheppard led scorers with 23 points. For the first time in its history, VT has won five consecutive ACC games after the victory on Sunday.
