Syracuse women aiming high

SYRACUSE — Syracuse women’s basketball coach Quentin Hillsman faces a stiff challenge — what to do for an encore. The answer is quite simple.

“The NCAA tournament is a standard. We have to get there yearly,” said Hillsman, who begins his third year with lofty expectations after being named co-Big East coach of the year in 2007-08.

“That has to be our goal, to get there, advance and hopefully win six (games) and win one (national championship). It’s just important for us as a team. That has to be our goal.”
