Head Coach
Jim Bodenstedt was pleased with the women's performance.
“The weather was tough for all the crews, but I thought we did a nice job in handling the wind and pushing near the end of the race to edge our way past the University of Rochester," said Bodenstedt. "Learning how to race in changing conditions better prepares us for spring racing.”
Next up the Tiger Oarswomen will end their fall training season at the Head of the Fish Regatta in Saratoga Springs, NY October 29.
