WORCESTER, Mass.- The Gordon College women's rowing team headed west for the Quinsigamond Snake Regatta to compete against several New England powerhouse programs.
 
The Gordon double of Sarah Petrenko and Taylor Sargent claimed a bronze finish behind two crews out of the MIT lightweight program, well ahead of boats from Simmons, Clark, Vermont, as well as another MIT boat. The Scots cleared the course in 20:05.4.
 
The four, coxed by Racqael Van Kleef, raced second, with a tough bow 2 starting position. After some intense passing, the Scots wound up ninth overall, behind crews from Iona, MIT, and Rhode Island, among others, with a total race time of 20:41.5.
 
Up next, Gordon will race at the Head of the Charles Regatta October 16-18.
