PHILADELPHIA - The women's varsity eight boat and a pair of varsity fours began the spring season for the La Salle women's rowing team on Saturday. The competition saw two other local schools -- Villanova and Drexel -- hit the water in the varsity eight race.

Rounding out the crew were sophomore Dowd, junior Danielle Deley, freshman Anna Green, sophomore Tara Cates, senior Jackie Gonzalez, freshman Paula Villegas, and sophomore Samantha Donahue.

A pair of four boats squared off against each other in the other race of the day for the Explorers. Fabi, Lindsay, Donahue, Villegas, and Green comprised one boat, while Dowd, Deley, Cates and Gonzalez were joined by freshman coxswain Claire Scobee.
