Syracuse, N.Y. Even from a vantage point all the way on the opposite coast, former Syracuse women’s basketball star Brittney Sykes tries to keep tabs on the Orange and coach Quentin Hillsman.
Sykes is one of the best players to ever come out of SU, an all-around guard who helped Hillsman and Syracuse reach the 2016 NCAA title game. She’s now a key member of the WNBA’s Los Angeles Sparks. Last year, her first with that team, she averaged 10.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 steals per game.

The latest honoree is Boris Katchouk who totaled two goals and seven assists in four games.
Katchouk, who had recorded three points in a game just once over the first 154 games of his pro career, accomplished the feat in back-to-back contests last week, beginning with a three-assist effort in Syracuse’s 6-2 win over Utica on Monday.
He notched a goal and two assists to help the Crunch to a come-from-behind 7-6 victory in Rochester on Wednesday, then set up the winning goal before tallying an insurance marker in the Crunch’s 5-3 win over the Americans on Saturday. Katchouk closed out the week with another assist on Sunday as Syracuse downed Utica, 7-1.
