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.
