Posted

The nationally-ranked No. 9 St. Lawrence University women's crew team squared off with Ithaca College, Skidmore College and Smith College on Saturday at Cayuga Inlet in Ithaca, NY.

The crews raced the 2000m course with a 5-10 mph tail-wind and a measurable tail-current. St. Lawrence fell to Smith in the opening varsity 8+ race by 3.2 seconds, setting them against Skidmore in their next showing. The Scarlet and Brown defeated the Thoroughbreds handily with a time of 6:54.3, over 30 seconds ahead of their opponents.

In the 2V race, Ithaca earned a win in 6:57.3 ahead of St. Lawrence by nearly 10 seconds. The Saints (7:07.2) were a full 10 seconds ahead of Smith (7:17.6) for the runner-up spot.

Meanwhile, St. Lawrence's women's novice 4+ defeated a pair of Ithaca boats with a mix of varsity and novice student-athletes with a time of 8:04.0. The Bombers' "A" boat finished in 8:07.1, over 10 seconds ahead of the "B" crew.

The St. Lawrence varsity boat was stroked by Jenette Kloss and was comprised of Heidi Weiss, Alissa McCaffrey, Maggie Fellows, Sally Dankner, Britton Weber, Madeline Fones, Jessica Burdett and Kelly Greenwood. The 2V included Karen Blakelock, Gabby Schreffler, Daniela Stokes, Ann West, Abbie McIvor, Ellie Jones, Cadence Trapini, Hannah Durant and Amy Yao. The winning 4+ was stroked by Jennifer Longwell and included Yukiko McQueeney, Rose Dowley, Grace Conrad and Schreffler.

The St. Lawrence women's crew team will race again next Saturday, April 20 against Hamilton College in Clinton, NY.
