🇦🇺 Syracuse 61 🇦🇺 Utah 49

Junior Sophie Burrows, from Lower Plenty, produced a standout all-around performance as Syracuse defeated Utah at the Hall of Fame Women’s Showcase. The 6'2 guard played 32 minutes and filled the box score with nine points, five rebounds, six assists, two steals and four blocks. Though she shot 3-for-11 from the field and 1-for-4 from deep, Burrows’ defensive timing, playmaking and versatility shaped the game on both ends. Junior Chyra Evans, from Newcastle, was Utah’s most consistent contributor, scoring 13 points on 6-for-9 shooting while adding five rebounds across 26 minutes. The 6'3 forward provided physicality inside and efficient finishing, but foul trouble and Syracuse’s length limited her late-game impact as the Utes struggled to generate momentum. Sophomore Grace Foster, from Perth, appeared briefly in the matchup, logging one minute without recording a shot or statistical contribution. She played a clean, controlled shift as Utah rotated through bench lineups.
