The Orange Second Varsity Eight and Varsity Four with Cox had it when they had to this afternoon, winning their repechages on Lake Natoma and moving to the upper division of the semifinals. But SU's Varsity could not catch up with Wisconsin in a three-boat race and will battle on Saturday for a spot in the third level final.
With just one spot in the upper semis available, SU's 2V8 battled Yale all the way down the course. The Eli led for the first half but the Orange rowed through and won it by less than a second. Stanford, Dartmouth, UCSD and Gonzaga rounded out the field.
In the V4+ Syracuse grabbed the semifinal spot by taking second place Princeton by open water, with Drexel and George Washington behind.
The V8 found itself up against Wisconsin and Gonzaga in the rep and the Badgers just had too much for the Orange. Coach Dave Reischman's men were just over a length behind.
SU's Open Four had already secured a spot in the semis by coming in third in its morning heat.

SU Women Just Short in Last Try at Big East Title
Notre Dame's' Fighting Irish women's crews did it again on Lake Mercer today, sweeping the major Big East Championship Races. Syracuse's V8 was less than a length behind in the final.
Syracuse's second varsity eight was third, barely a half-second behind Louisville, but Notre Dame had open water on both.
The Orange V4+ was third behind the Irish and the Cardinals. Louisville got a win in the 2V4+ over ND, with Syracuse third. And the Orange 3V8 took second, open water behind the Irish.

The loss to Notre Dame deprives Coach Justin Moore's squad of the hoped-for automatic NCAA bid that goes with the Big East title. And for Syracuse, it is the last racing in the Big East as the Orange moves to the Atlantic Coast Conference next season. Eventually they'll see Notre Dame and Louisville in competition there.

All Three SU Crews in Sprints Petites: IRA Invite Looks Good
Coach Dave Reischman's Varsity Eight was not about to be beaten by Datrmouth again this morning. After losing by .7 second eight days earlier on Onondaga Lake, the Orange left the Big Green far behind in the first V8. With Harvard and BU out ahead, SU and Wisconsin battled for third with the Badgers taking third by about half length. Both advanced to the Petite Final while Harvard and BU made the Grand Final.
In addition to Wisco, the Orange V8 goes against Cornell, Georgetown, navy and Penn in the Petite.
The guaranteed top 12 finish at the Sprints seems to ensure that Syracuse will get an invitation to the IRA in Sacramento.
SU's JV had to wait to race in the morning heat as Rutgers had breakage at the start line and all crews had to row off and wait for repairs to be made. Once they got going, the Orange grabbed the lead in the start but Brown soon took over and rowed away from the field as SU and Northeastern fought for the second spot. The Huskies got across first, with SU ahead of Columbia, Georgetown and Rutgers.
The Orange 2V goes against the Lions, Cornell, Penn Yale and Navy in the Petite.
Syracuse's third varsity eight was the first Orange crew to race this morning, taking third in its heat about half a length ahead of Harvard. Brown and BU advanced to the Grand Final.
In the Petite the Orange 3V faces Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, Dartmouth and Yale.

Orange Takes Two but Big Green Takes Home Packard Cup
They went after it like two crews ranked next to each other and the end result showed that's how they should be compared. Dartmouth's Big Green Varsity Eight overcame a slight SU lead early to edge ahead of the Orange and hang on for a win by less than a second Saturday morning. The race was rowed on the sheltered buoy line along the far side of Onondaga Lake after driving rain and shifting winds blew the crews off the regular course.
Syracuse's Second Varsity Eight, also racing on the buoy line course grabbed the lead off the start and beat Dartmouth by more than a length of open water. The Third Varsity Eights got their race in on the regular course that runs past the boathouse and SU also had an open water win.
Syracuse's Varsity Eight came into the race ranked 15th in the US Rowing Coaches Poll to Dartmouth's 16th. In the EARC seeding poll SU was 13th and Dartmouth 12th. If this close race leaves them in those positions in the final seeding poll they'll face off again next Sunday morning in the morning heat at the Eastern Sprints.
Both Syracuse and Dartmouth will be looking for a strong finish at the Sprints to secure an invitation to the IRA in Sacramento.
