Cinderella

clipped from sports.yahoo.com Syracuse women ranked for the first time in school history In just his second year as Syracuse women's basketball coach, Hillsman has guided the Orange into uncharted territory -- they're ranked for the first time in school history, and they catapulted into the AP Top 25 this week at No. 24 after losing two games in a six-day span. After being just outside the Top 25, Syracuse apparently moved up in the voters' estimation off the strength of an 85-75 loss at No. 19 Pittsburgh and a 65-59 setback at home a week ago to top-ranked Connecticut (18-0). UConn led by just two points with less than 2 minutes to play in what proved to be the Huskies' most difficult game of the season so far. Connecticut won its previous 15 games by an average of 41 points.
