The men’s heavyweight rowing team will stay in Ithaca this weekend to face Georgetown while women’s rowing will start off its spring season by facing Syracuse and No. 1-ranked Yale.
Heavyweight is coming off a successful showing in the highly competitive Pac-10 Challenge where it faced off with some of the top boats in the country.
The men’s varsity eight boat defeated UCLA by over 27 seconds but was not as successful against Stanford. The second varsity eight defeated Stanford earlier in the day by over seven seconds but fell to UCLA in the afternoon. Both boats lost to California the next day.
