Syracuse, NY (Sports Network) - Mike Marra hit a couple clutch three-pointers down the stretch, finishing with 12 points on four shots from beyond the arc, as the Louisville Cardinals stunned second-ranked Syracuse, 66-60, at the Carrier Dome.

Edgar Sosa also scored 12 points and dished out five assists for the Cardinals (16-9, 7-5 Big East), who have won the last five meetings with Syracuse.

Jared Swopshire and Preston Knowles both had 10 points for Louisville, which had lost its last four conference road games.

Wes Johnson had 14 points and eight rebounds for the Orange (24-2, 11-2), who had won 11 straight since losing at home to Pittsburgh on January 2.

The setback drops Syracuse a half-game behind Villanova for first place in the Big East standings.
