The UConn women's rowing team raced Army on Coventry Lake on Friday morning, and took first in four out of five events. The varsity 4 was the first race of the day, and UConn's only loss. The varsity 8 won by 7.3 seconds, the jv by 27.4, the novice 8 by 24.0, and the largest win of the day was by the second novice 8, winning by 30.0 seconds.
Members of the second novice 8 include Shannon O'Rourke, Cara Motowidlo, Sam Bond, Heather Ferrick, Alyssa Sharpe, Nikki Pheonix, Jenna Strizzi, Heather Cannon, and Adrienne Cizik. The second novice eight is coached by graduate assistant Alicea Kochis.
Head Coach Jen Sanford-Wendry commented, "Overall it was an excellent day for UConn. We were looking for a win to build our confidence before heading into the Big East Challenge next weekend. I was very pleased with the way all of our boats rowed. Army typically has a strong crew, so to be able to win by such great margins is encouraging."
UConn races at the Big East Challenge in Worcester, MA next Sunday. Racing begins at 8 AM.
