Huskies Sweep Fairfield In Home Opener
COVENTRY, CT (March 27) -- The
UConn women’s rowing team swept Fairfield University on Coventry Lake
to open the Spring 2004 season on Saturday morning.
The Varsity Eight kicked
off the day with a solid win, defeating the stags by a boat length of open
water. Fairfield did not have a JV Eight so the UConn JV Eight fought it out
with the two varsity crews and finished third. The UConn Varsity Four raced
two Fairfield fours and had a substantial win. UConn’s two Novice Eights showed
good speed and posted the largest wins of the day.
“It was great to see the
UConn crews walk away with so many wins today. It was a confidence builder for
the athletes and overall just fun racing to watch,” UConn head coach Jen
Sanford Wendry said. “I hope the JV Eight will step up tomorrow at the Yankee
Cup when they race other JV Eight crews. It was tough for them to be put in the
Varsity Eight race, but I think it was a learning experience and hopefully they
will go into tomorrow’s race better prepared.”
