The SU women's crews' learning process continued this morning in the Orange Cup races on the Charles River, as the Orange women finished third in the varsity eight race with #19 Penn and Northeastern.
SU wound up trailing by open water at the finish as the Quakers pulled away from the Huskies by almost a length at the finish after leading by just two seats with 500 meters to go. Syracuse stayed in shouting distance this time, something the Orange was not able to do a week earlier against Cornell and Yale.
Varsity: Penn 6:54.7, Northeastern 6:57.5, Syracuse 7:07.3
The second varsity also was third with Penn taking Northeastern by a length or so and the Orange a couple of lengths behind the Huskies.
