Penn won the Orange Challenge Cup again Saturday with Northeastern in second, but this time Coach Justin Moore's V8 kept it a lot closer than a year ago when SU trailed by several lengths of open water. Penn made the kind of move it is known for at about the halfway point, rowing away from the Huskies and Orange but SU kept up the fight, finishing just about a length back of Northeastern, and cutting the time behind Penn almost in half from 2011.

SU's second varsity eight rowed through Northeastern to take second in its race. The Varsity 4+ was second and the V4 "B" boat rowed away from both the Quakers and Huskies to give SU its only first place finish.
The races at Syracuse were rowed into a head wind on a sunny, but chilly morning with solid support from SU backers on the shore as the crews passed the three-quarter point in front of the boathouse.
