The lake was choppy, the temperature near freezing and the wind from the south - a pretty typical late March morning on Onondaga Lake, as Syracuse's women's crews headed out to battle 16th-ranked Cornell, Boston University and Rutgers. The crews would each do double duty and in each case, the Orange split.
BU rowed through SU's varsity eight in the opening race of the morning, winning by about half a length. That consigned SU to a race against Rutgers, which lost to Cornell in the second race.

SU clobbered the Scarlet Knights, while Cornell beat BU easily. Coach Hilary Gehman's Big Red swept every race it was in, also taking Rutgers in the 2V, V4 and 3V preliminaries, then taking SU fairly easily in the 2V, v4 and 3V.
BU bested Rutgers in their second races.
The Orange are home again next weekend (April 7) against Northeastern and Penn.
