The Syracuse men's rowing team began its spring season with a sweep of Stanford and Oregon State on Saturday morning in Redwood Shores, Calif, at the Pac-12 Invite. Syracuse will complete the weekend on Sunday morning racing #1 California.Â
"I thought a solid first day of racing for us," Syracuse Head Coach Dave Reischman said. "We have a lot of guys racing up a boat or two from where they sat last year and I think they handled their new roles very well. We really focus on our ability to make changes from race to race and we did a nice job of that today.  Tomorrow morning will be the toughest test of the weekend and I am eager to see if we can continue with our theme of showing improvement each race. "
The Orange Varsity Eight (1V8), which begins the season ranked No. 9 in the IRCA/IRA Poll, defeated No. 8 Stanford, by six seconds in the first race of the day for Syracuse.
