After a season limited by injury and suspension, Emely Rodriguez joins the Orange, bringing a proven scoring threat and defensive intensity.

After a injury‑limited year at Iowa, Rodriguez brings 7.2 points per game and a competitive edge to Syracuse, which recently upset Iowa State in the NCAA tournament and is looking to bolster its roster for the upcoming season.

The transfer of Emely Rodriguez to Syracuse University brings new offensive firepower and defensive grit to a program that finished last season with a 24‑9 record and an upset over Iowa State in the NCAA Tournament.
