The Holy Cross women’s rowing team hosted Rhode Island, Delaware, Boston University, and the Boston University Lightweight team at Lake Quinsigamond on April 27.
The event featured multiple races with the Holy Cross varsity eight finishing third in both of their contests, recording times of 7:11.5 and 7:10.3. The second varsity eight also finished third in both races, narrowly trailing Delaware by just one-tenth of a second in the first race with a time of 7:06.6 and securing another third-place finish in the second race with a time of 7:09.3.
Head coach Andrea Landry said, “Big thanks to Delaware and URI for some great racing. I’m proud of how our team stayed internal against strong competition. That mindset is will be critical as we head into our toughest races yet. With the last week of classes coming up, we need to be smart with recovery and time management. If we focus on the right things in the boat every day, we’ll be ready to perform on May 3 and May 15. We encourage all to join us mid day May 3 to acknowledge our senior class at Regatta Point during Eastern Sprints, and share end of year awards and accolades. Lots to be proud of! Go Cross Go!”
In other results from Saturday’s regatta, the third varsity eight posted a time of 8:07.9 while the varsity four finished third in their first race (7:59.8) before placing second ahead of Delaware in their next contest (7:53.3). The second varsity four took fifth place with a time of 8:29.4.
Holy Cross is scheduled to return for Eastern Sprints at Lake Quinsigamond on Sunday, May 3.
