In Farmington’s 12-points loss to Davis Jan. 21, the Phoenix squad outscored the Darts by four points in the second half but it wasn’t enough to come back from the earlier deficit.

The second half was a more productive 16 minutes – with 26 points scored – but it wasn’t enough to overcome the deficit.
“Syracuse is a good basketball team,” said assistant coach Hilary Noel. “They have solid fundamentals and work well as a team. We were not ready for their level of execution.”
Archibald drained five 3-pointers, scoring 17 points, with Rogers (nine points), Wayland and Myers (four), Ellie Schow (three) and Weber (two) also helping the offense.
