ORLANDO - The UCF women's rowing team opens the spring season at two different regattas on March 4. The openweights take on Michigan in Tampa, Fla., while the lightweights stay local and race at the Metro Cup against Rollins and Villanova in Maitland, Fla.
This will be the third consecutive year that the Golden Knights and the Wolverines have met on the Hillsborough River in Tampa. The varsity squad will enter two eights and a four, while the novice will have two eights at the regatta.
The lightweights will race 2,000 meters on Lake Maitland Saturday morning. The varsity and novice squads will each send an eight and a four to the Metro Cup.
In the fall, the varsity competed at the Head of the Chattahoochee in Chattanooga, Tenn. where the team had two boats finish in the top 10, while the novice won the FIRA Fall Classic in Melbourne, Fla.
