(senior – Queensbury, NY), 3-Lindsey Gish (senior – Smithtown, NY), 2-Ali
Stoyan (sophomore – Liverpool, NY), and 
b-Carrie Dancy (junior – Concord, NH), finished fourth among 18 teams
and missed the Bronze Medal by three-tenths of a second.

The
Dutchmen, whose Varsity 4+ team consisted of: c-Manny Rojas (freshman –
Bayside, NY), s-Brett Durie (senior – Cobleskill, NY), 3-Brad Coyman (senior –
Watertown, NY), 2-Jon Menz (senior – Colton, NY), and b-Tristan Beeble
(freshman – Cohoes, NY), placed ninth among 18 teams.
