UConn Finishes Second and Third In Mystic

MYSTIC, Conn. --- The University of Connecticut women’s rowing team opened its fall 2004 season on Sunday as it competed at the Mystic Coastweeks Regatta.

The Huskies entered two fours in the event, and for the second year in a row, finished second and third behind Coast Guard.  The Huskies went into the race having practiced together only twice. Over 2000 meters, the UConn boats were only one second apart.

“As much as I was hoping we could beat Coast Guard this year, I was happy to see that our two boats were so close in speed,” says UConn head coach Jen Sanford-Wendry. “We will try to catch Coast Guard in the eights at the Head of the Riverfront on October 3^rd.  Our team has a lot of depth this year which will make us stronger across the board.”
