LOWELL, Mass. - The Lesley University crew team raced against UMass-Lowell, Bowdoin University, and Middlebury College and gave a solid performance despite the cold and rainy conditions. 

In the Women's Open event, the team raced with their lightweight boat and placed fourth out of four.  Considering the difficulty of racing with that kind of boat, they crossed the finish line with a time of 7:40.06.

In the Novice category, the A boat had a time of 7:42.95 finishing just behind Middlebury and Bowdoin.

The Novice B boat had an excellent race.  They battled Middlebury down the entire 2k course and ended up with a time of 8:10.04, less than six seconds behind Middlebury.

The crew team will travel down to Camden, NJ for the Knecht Cup on April 11-13.
