Syracuse point guard Dyaisha Fair has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Week, SU Athletics announced Monday. It’s Syracuse’s second weekly conference honor of the 2023-24 season, as Fair joins Alyssa Latham, who earned a Freshman of the Week award on Dec. 4, 2023.

Through her past two games, Fair averaged 26.5 points per game and led the Orange to victories over then-No. 15 Florida State on Jan. 18 and Pittsburgh on Jan. 21. The wins increased Syracuse’s streak to five in a row, and propelled it to a No. 22 ranking in the AP Poll.

Against FSU, Fair led an 18-point comeback in the first game after powering the Orange to a 19-point come-from-behind victory over Clemson. She dropped a season-high 31 points and set a program-record with nine made 3-pointers. In the fourth quarter, Fair spearheaded Syracuse with 11 points and three 3s as it outscored the Seminoles 25-11 during the frame.

The following game versus Pitt, Fair totaled 22 points off of six 3-point makes. She led SU in scoring en route to a 13-point win over the Panthers, which sealed Syracuse’s best start to a season since 2012-13.

Fair’s now averaging 20.5 points per game through 18 games, 0.6 more than she did in 2022-23. She’s fourth in the ACC in scoring, and also leads the Orange in assists (3.5) and steals (2.3) per game. The Player of the Week award adds to a historic campaign from Fair, who surpassed 3,000 career points against Clemson on Jan. 14. Currently, Fair sits tied No. 10 all-time in Division I women’s basketball history with 3,060.
