Syracuse made a steal under its basket on an inbounds play and Fair was fouled before making 1 of 2 free throws with 30.2 seconds left for a 61-59 lead. After a timeout, Tonie Morgan was short on a jumper from the free-throw line and Syracuse was awarded the ball after a tie-up.

Syracuse freshman Alyssa Latham grabbed the offensive rebound, but she missed two free throws to give Georgia Tech another shot. Georgia Tech had two chances at a 3-pointer but Rusne Augustinaite was off on a shot from well beyond the arc and Morgan stepped on the out-of-bounds line.
Latham had 12 points and eight rebounds for Syracuse (19-4, 9-3 ACC).
Kara Dunn scored 17 points, Kayla Blackshear added 15 and Morgan had 12 for Georgia Tech (14-10, 5-7).
