The Orange lost, 62-45, to Villanova last night at The Pavilion to drop to 11-11, 3-8 in the Big East. Freshmen Mary Jo Riley (10 points), Vaida Sipavicuite (11) and Jessica Richter (10) led SU in scoring.

Syracuse led the Wildcats, 10-9, but trailed the rest of the game. Jana Rediger scored 16 points to lead Villanova.

The Orange next plays on Saturday against Boston College at 2 p.m. at Manley Field House.
