"Bang. Bang." Say it as fast as you can. Not fast enough. There wasn't that much time between Cornell's Big Red crossing the finish line and SU's V8 last Saturday in nearly impossible conditions in Annapolis. But that four-tenths of a second (officially) loss along with other results around the Northeast cost the Orange Men five spots in the US Rowing Collegiate poll out today. Not surprisingly, Cornell vaulted to sixth with the win. As SU Coach Dave Reischman pointed out afterward, all crews in the Goes Cup Race rowed in the same conditions.
Princeton moved up a spot to fifth and Northeastern, Yale and Wisconsin also slipped ahead of the Orange who now sit in tenth. That's just one spot ahead of Boston University and three ahead of Columbia, both of whom the Orange faces this Saturday in New York. Just in case the SU squad needs a chip on the shoulder.
