SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. — The La Salle women's rowing team looks to end the season on a high note Friday when it competes in the Atlantic 10 Championship at Fish Creek.
The Explorers will have four boats compete at the conference championship regatta: the Varsity 8+, the 2
nd Varsity 8+, the Varsity 4+, and the 2
nd Varsity 4+. The regatta will begin at 8 a.m. and will be broadcasted live on ESPN+.
"We're super excited," La Salle head coach Kelsey Franks said. "This is the largest squad that La Salle has ever had at A-10s. Last year, we took two 8 boats and that was a huge deal. The team is really pumped. This is what we have been training for."
The Explorers are coming off a bye week following a solid performance at the Kelly Cup on April 29. In that regatta, the Explorers' four boats placed in the top four in their respective events, with the 2V8 and V4 crews both finishing in second place, the V8 taking third and the 2V4 placing fourth.
Last year at the A-10 Championship, the Explorers saw its V8 win the Petite Final in a time of 7:21.73. The gold medal in the Petite Final proved the best finish for the Explorers in a decade
, last achieving a similar or better feat in 2012.
