The Orange have a quick turnaroud heading home to Syracuse to host No 10. Dartmouth at Ten Eyck on Sunday for the Packard Cup. Sunday's race against the Big Green will be the first-ever ACC Network Extra broadcast of men's rowing. Fans unable to attend can watch live on ACCN Extra online or via the WatchESPN App.

Sunday's race features a highly anticipated race between two top-10 crews. In last year's race, the Orange beat Dartmouth by nearly two seconds to claim its 29th Packard Cup win since it was first contested in 1960.

About the Conlan Cup
Syracuse and Boston University have been racing for the Conlan Cup every year since 1987 when the trophy was created. The race is named after Bill Conlan who was the founder of the Boston University rowing program. The Orange has won the cup 16 times in 30 years. The Conlan Cup was not contested in 1996.
About the Packard Cup
Anthony Ladd commissioned the Packard Cup in 1959 to honor his father-in-law, Edward N. Packard (SU Class of 1906). The cup, made of sterling silver, is awarded annually to the winner of the Syracuse-Dartmouth race. Packard was the stroke of the 1904 varsity eight, the first SU crew to capture an IRA championship.
