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.
