The Orange recorded a third-place finish in the women's championship fours race and was the top collegiate boat in the event. "That was our target that what we were looking to try and do," head coach [URL='http://cuse.com/coaches.aspx?rc=968'][U]Justin Moore[/U][/URL] said. "It's been a thing we have been hunting for a couple of years now. It was great that these guys were able to have that performance and reach that milestone for the program today." In the women's championship fours on Sunday, Syracuse's "A" boat placed third out of 17 boats, finishing behind two US Rowing national team boats. Coxed by senior [URL='http://cuse.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=11184'][U]Katherine Isaza[/U][/URL] and rowed by sophomore [URL='http://cuse.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=11175'][U]Emily Carey[/U][/URL] (stroke), junior [URL='http://cuse.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=11201'][U]Kari Tomeny[/U][/URL] (3), senior [URL='http://cuse.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=11494'][U]Georgia Hamilton[/U][/URL] (2), and junior [URL='http://cuse.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=11520'][U]Deirdre Fitzpatrick[/U][/URL] (bow), the boat finished in the three-mile race in 18.29.981. "The championship event is where the top performing collegiate crews, national teams, and aspiring national team athletes go," added Moore. "We have been chasing the top collegiate finish in the championship four since I started taking the crew to Head of the Charles, three or four years ago. Last year, we thought we had a pretty good chance. The crew came off the water last year and said they did not handle the conditions well, they did not handle the environment well, and did not handle the stage well. A lot of them wanted to have a do-over. This year's group got that do-over." The "B" boat finished in 10th place in the championship fours, coming in at a time of 19.12.473. The "B" boat was comprised of sophomore [URL='http://cuse.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=11203'][U]Alyssa Vasiliou[/U][/URL] (coxswain), senior [URL='http://cuse.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=11491'][U]Chelsea Frawley[/U][/URL] (stroke), freshman [URL='http://cuse.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=11312'][U]Julia Vander Hoeven[/U][/URL] (3), sophomore [URL='http://cuse.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=11194'][U]Saydee McQuay[/U][/URL] (2), and senior [URL='http://cuse.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=11176'][U]Sienna DeSantis[/U][/URL] (bow). On Saturday, Syracuse sent out seniors [URL='http://cuse.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=11180'][U]Caroline Habjan[/U][/URL] and [URL='http://cuse.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=11502'][U]Amy Ludovici[/U][/URL] for the women's championship doubles race. The pair finished in 13th place overall, covering the course in 18:46.280. Habjan and Ludovici were the top collegiate pair in the event. Syracuse returns to the water next weekend at the Princeton Chase in Princeton, N.J. on Sunday, October 26. [/QUOTE]
