PHILADELPHIA - The La Salle University men's rowing team opened its spring season on the Schuylkill River Saturday. The Explorers took part in a pair of races against Villanova and Drexel, while the third varsity boat raced a trio of groups from Drexel.
The second varsity boat, directed by freshman coxswain Jennah Syed, bettered Villanova's group by nearly seven seconds by crossing in 6:46.8. All nine Explorers in the group were freshmen.
In the other races of the day, the varsity eight crossed in 6:50.2 while the third varsity boat closed in 7:25.7.
