SCOTIA, N.Y.- The Gordon College women's rowing team returned to the water for a blustery Sunday of racing in Scotia, NY.
 
The day opened with doubles, where Sarah Petrenko and Emily Nerger finished first with a 39-second lead over the crew from Buffalo. Taylor Sargent and Shelby Smyrl also took fourth place in the event for the Scots.
 
Gordon also competed in the varsity four, where Albany took all three medals spots, followed by two Hamilton crews and Union, who were competing on their home course. Gordon's boat of Emily Nerger, Taylor Sargent, Samantha Hansen, and Isabella D'Agostino, coxed by freshman Racqael Van Kleef, placed seventh out of the 15 crews, ahead of boats from RPI, Buffalo, Nazareth, Bryant, and SUNY Geneseo.
 
Up next, the Fighting Scots take on the Quinsigamond Snake on October 3.
