Top 10 Orange

The Orange women's rowing team is ranked ninth nationally heading into the 2021 NCAA Championship. Syracuse has been in the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA) top 10 in four of the past five weeks. The Orange moved up to the ninth spot from the 11th position after its third-place finish at the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Championship on May 14th and 15th.

Syracuse achieved its' highest ranking in program history earlier this season at #8 after a strong showing at the Big Ten Invitational (April 17-18). Three top 10 rankings in one season is a first in program history.

Since the polls began in 2002, the 12th spot in the rankings was the program best, which the 2017 team accomplished in mid-May. The 2017 squad was in the top 13 for the entire month of May, peaking at #12, and finished 13th nationally.

The Orange will compete in the 2021 NCAA Championship on May 28-30. The Orange earned an at-large invitation to the event for the fourth time in five racing seasons (2016, 2017, 2018 and 2021; 2020 season cancelled due to COVID-19).
