The SU Women’s Varsity Eight may very well have saved its best race for last, finishing two spots ahead of their seed at the EAWRC Sprints and just missing third in a bang-bang-bang battle with Penn and Rutgers in the last 20 strokes of the Petite Final.
Columbia won the race, grabbing a length with a huge move 500 meters in. Northeastern took second, with the Quakers, Orange and Scarlet Knights battling for third. SU seemed to have edged past Penn near the finish, but Penn wound up crossing the line first, then SU in fourth and Rutgers a beat behind, with Georgetown trailing.
Columbia 6:38.62 NE 6:42.91 Penn 6:48.54 SU 6:49.69 Rutgers 6:49.89 GU 6:56.02
The finish meets one of Coach Justin Moore's goals going in as the Orange finished two spots ahead of where it was seeded.
