BU Sweeps and Takes Conlan Cup: SU Third in V8

Syracuse's Varsity Eight made a fight of it in the first half of the race this morning, but fell back in the third 500, as 13th-ranked Boston University powered to an open water win over #10 Columbia. The 14th-ranked Syracuse eight was open water back of the Lions. The win by BU completed a sweep of the morning's four races on Overpeck Creek, ostensibly a home course for Columbia.

Unofficially, BU finished in 6:00, with Columbia at 6:04 and Syracuse at 6:09.

BU takes the Conlan Cup back to Boston with the win over Syracuse. Coach Dave Reischman has a couple of weeks now to get his squad ready for the only home race of this season, the Packard Cup against Dartmouth.
