Syracuse (14-16, 9-9 Atlantic Coast) failed to get a win on the road this weekend, losing at Clemson (14-14, 8-9) on Friday in four sets followed by a five-set loss to Georgia Tech (12-18, 6-12) on Sunday.

On Friday, the Orange lost the first set after Clemson won 11 points in a row to gain a 13-4 and eventually won the first set, 25-16. The Orange worked its way to a 23-22 lead in the second, but dropped three points in a row to lose the set.

Syracuse rode an 11-4 run in the third set to pull out a 25-21 win, but in the fourth Silvi Uattara, who finished with team-high 18 kills for the Orange along with 14 digs, couldn’t quite lead a final comeback. Three straight kills brought the score to 24-23, but a Moneshia Simmons kill won the match for the Tigers.

On Sunday, the Orange lost the first set to Georgia Tech 25-20, but came back to win the next two sets 25-21 and a dominating 25-13 to take a 2-1 advantage.

In the fourth set, the Orange grabbed a 20-18 lead, but lost the next five points and eventually lost the set 25-23. In the deciding fifth set, Syracuse grabbed a 12-11 lead, but Georgia Tech won four of the next five points to claim the match.

Uattara also had a double-double against the Yellow Jackets, with 18 kills and 12 digs. Fellow outside hitter Nicolette Serratore had a double-double in both matches this weekend, as well, finishing with 18 kills and 11 digs on Sunday and 14 kills and 12 digs on Friday.
