PHILADELPHIA - The La Salle women's rowing team took part in the Navy Day Regatta, held at the Schuylkill River recently, with the lightweight four boat taking home a first-place finish to lead the way. 

Sophomore coxswain Christi Gosse steered the foursome of sophomore Jessica Lindsay, senior Amanda Ryan, and freshmen Logan Howlett and Rebecca Schafer to the finish line in a time of 17:51.32. The Explorers outdistanced second-place Sacred Heart by a healthy amount, crossing with a nearly 300-meter margin. 

Also competing for La Salle were the varsity four boat of junior Emily Finkbinder, sophomore Danielle Deley, junior Jackie Gonzalez, and freshmen Tara Cates and Madison Barber, who finished in 19th place, and the varsity eight of Gosse, Lindsay, Deley, Ryan, Finkbinder, J. Gonzalez, Howlett, freshman Carly Dowd and senior Erika Gonzalez, who finished 23rd.

The Explorers return to action on Oct. 22-23 with the famed Head of the Charles Regatta in Cambridge, Mass.
