The Orange women sent one crew to the NY State Champions and the Syracuse V4 boat came away with the win. Syracuse heads to Michigan
next weekend to race the Wolverines and Ohio State in the ACC/B10 Duals.
Softball (17-19, 4-12):

Track and Field:
After taking a redshirt during indoor, distance standout Benne Anderson is back on the track and won the 1500 at the Virginia Challenge in a new meet record of 3:37.11.
