At 5-foot-5, Rochester’s Dyaisha Fair Proves Doubters Wrong, Stands Tall In NCAA History

Dyaisha Fair, a 5-foot-5 guard from Rochester and a Syracuse University player, has defied the odds to make her mark in NCAA women’s basketball history. Starting her journey with a bold declaration to her high school coach at Edison Tech, Fair faced skepticism due to her height but never let it deter her ambition. She showcased her talent first at Buffalo for three seasons before moving to Syracuse, where she continued to excel in the ACC. With a career total of 3,328 points, Fair now ranks fifth in NCAA women’s basketball scoring history. Her achievement is a testament to her belief that heart outweighs height in the game of basketball. Felisha Legette-Jack, Fair’s coach for the last five years at both UB and Syracuse, has always believed in her potential. As Fair contemplates her future, she remains committed to surpassing expectations and breaking barriers, just as she has throughout her remarkable basketball career.
