The Orange women came to Worcester hoping to make some noise at the Big East Championships and the Varsity Eight gave it an especially strong effort. But it was favored Notre Dame that dominated the event on Lake Quinsigamond. The Fighting Irish won all three NCAA qualifying events, the Varsity Eight, 2V8 and Varsity Fours as well as the Novice Eights and Second Varsity 4s.

SU Varsity Eight Takes Bronze in Grand Final.
The Orange Women stayed in it to the finish this time, battling with top-seed Louisville down the stretch and just missing the silver medal. Notre Dame moved away from the Cardinals in the last 500 to win by about a length, as Syracuse stayed in contact with UL, finishing just about a length back.
2V8 Edged Out – Finishes Fourth
Louisville squeaked by SU’s Second Varsity Eight at the wire to take third in the grand final. Notre Dame opened it up in the last 500 to win by open water over Georgetown. Syracuse was in third down the stretch but the Cardinals got by in the sprint – a race too close to call until the official result was announced.
V4+ Finishes Fourth
Syracuse’s Varsity 4 won its morning heat but struggled in the Grand Final, winding up fourth even with a strong last 500. Notre Dame won it easily with Georgetown second and West Virginia third. The Orange fell back in the middle of the race, but then stepped it up, getting past UConn and Villanova and moving up toward the finish. Still the SU crew was not able to get into the medals.
Novices trail in Grand Final
The Orange eight finished sixth in the Novice race. Notre Dame and UConn battled down the course, with the Fighting Irish opening it up in the last 500 meters and the Huskies taking second. Georgetown was third.
2V4 Takes Bronze
The Orange Second Varsity Four finished third behind Notre Dame and Georgetown.
The Orange Women race next on Saturday at the Windermere Cup/Opening Day races at Washington.
