Dominique Darius’ Late 3 Lifts Syracuse Over Cal in Triple Overtime, 90-87

The transfer guard has emerged as Syracuse’s lead playmaker this season after limited roles at UCLA then USC.

Overview

  • Syracuse surrendered a 53-33 third-quarter lead and was outscored 25-9 in the fourth to reach overtime.
  • Dominique Darius scored 19 points, with Uche Izoje adding 22, Sophie Burrows 21 and Laila Phelia 18 for the Orange.
  • Cal’s Naya Ojukwu posted a game-high 25 points and missed a potential go-ahead jumper with 26 seconds left in the third overtime.
  • Following Izoje’s rebound, Darius called for a “horns down” set and hit the deciding three with about 3 seconds remaining.
  • The win moved Syracuse to 15-3 overall and 5-2 in the ACC after Lulu Twidale’s two late threes earlier extended the game to double overtime.
