Princeton Women's Lightweight Rowing Squad Rallies To Beat Drexel
April 24, 2021 | Women's Rowing - Lightweight
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – The Princeton women's lightweight rowing squad came from behind to take down Drexel on the Schuylkill River.
Princeton trailed through 500m and eventually fought back to take a seven-seat lead before earning a 2.6-second decision over the Dragons.
"Our eight showed great composure for a first race," said head coach Paul Rassam. "They looked really calm and together. I'm very proud of our program."
The Tigers' 2x boat raced against Drexel and Princeton's open rowing teams' varsity fours and rowed across the finish line at 9:03.3.
