PRINCETON, N.J. – The Syracuse men’s rowing squad returned to the water at the Princeton Chase. The Orange entered six boats; four in the men’s varsity open four and two in the men’s varsity open eight. The varsity eight boat (Bow-Brian Azeff, 2-Clai White, 3-Mike Bagnall, 4-Dan Turner, 5-Vince Berry, 6-Mike Gennaro, 7-Dan Berry, Stroke-Martin Etem, Coxswain- Jamie Hubbell) placed fifth with a time of 13:27.083. Yale won the race in 13:17.595.

“I think the results in the both the eights and fours says we are on track. It serves notice that we finished fifth and were only 10 seconds behind the winner,” head coach Dave Reischman said. “Our eight boat had a good day and our four A and B boats also raced well. We need to spend a little more time on our second varsity squad to see what they are all about.”

SU’s second varsity four (Bow- Brian Azeff, 2-Clai White, 3-Mike Bagnall, Stroke-Martin Etem, Coxswain- Jamie Hubbell) finished sixth in 15:26.617.
