AMHERST, Mass. -- The University of Massachusetts women's crew team captured the gold medal in the Cal Cup Petite race Sunday at the prestigious San Diego Crew Classic, held on San Diego's Mission Bay.

The Minutewomen won the petite race in 6:58.6, just ahead of second-place Purdue (6:58.94). The UMass varsity eight finished third in the Cal Cup prelims with a season-best time of 7:26.88, but just missed a spot in the event's championship race.

The junior varsity eight boat finished fourth in its prelim heat in 7:51.83, but did not advance into the finals, and the junior varsity petite boat was sixth with a 7:12.19.

UMass returns to action Saturday and Sunday, April 12-13, at the Knecht Cup in Camden, N.J.
