BOSTON, Mass. – The SU women’s rowing varsity eight boat claimed the Kittell Cup for the second time in three years finishing less than a second ahead of Boston University. The Orange brings the Cup back to Syracuse finishing with a time of 6:35.02, while the Terriers finished with a time of 6:35.92.
The last 500 meters of the varsity eight race went back and forth before SU pulled ahead to claim the victory. The varsity four also claimed top honors with a time 7:44.22 and SU’s novice eight finished six seconds ahead of the Terriers to take first place with a time of 7:05.15. SU’s second varsity eight finished two seconds behind Boston University for second place. The Terrier’s novice four squad finished with a time of 8:17.9, while the Orange came in second with a time of 8:28.3.
“We’re really excited to bring this trophy home,” SU head coach Kris Sanford said. “It was great racing in the varsity eight. It just showed that we were really gutsy and had a lot of heart and that is what is going to win it for us at the BIG EAST Championship in a month.”
SU returns to action on April 2 facing Ivy League foes Cornell and Yale in Connecticut.
