"We thought both of our crews had decent first races," head coach Dave Reischman stated. "Both identified some positives and some things they would like to do better. What our coaching staff wants to see how much these guys improve race-to-race. We are excited to see how much progress we can make by our next race in Princeton."
Syracuse sent out two boats in its first race of its fall season, both competing in the men's collegiate eight race. The "A" boat covered the 2.5 mile course in 12:14.63, less than five seconds behind first-place Navy. Drexel beat out the Orange for second place, coming in .57 seconds ahead of SU's top crew.
The "B" boat finished in 10th place on the day, recording a time of 12:52.07.
The Syracuse men's rowing team will return to the water on Saturday, Nov. 1 at the Princeton Chase. Syracuse will then complete its autumn campaign the following weekend with a short trip to Ithaca for the Cornell Head Race.
