The SU Women raced three times in two days in Ithaca this weekend with the Varsity Eight winning one race and just falling short in another. The Orange took the University of Buffalo by about a length on Saturday morning. Saturday afternoon they fell to Gonzaga by about half a length.
On Friday afternoon the Orange varsity eight finished well behind top-ranked Yale which edged Cornell by about half a length in spite of an accident during the race.
Yale’s athletics website described it this way “Yale’s oars side-swiped a bridge near the 1,000-meter mark forcing stroke Taylor Ritzel to have to stop rowing. The Bulldogs had an open-water lead at the time and still managed to cruise to a 2.5-second victory over second-place Cornell.”
All other Orange boats trailed in their events on Cayuga Lake with the Second Varsity Eight losing a heartbreaker to Gonzaga by one-tenth of a second to end the weekend.
