ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFAthletics.com) - The UCF rowing team is set to travel to Sacramento, Calif., this weekend to compete in the Lake Natoma Invitational against some of the top rowing squads in the country.

"We are really excited for the opportunity to race such high caliber teams," head coach Becky Cramer said. "It is going to be a fast weekend and will really test us, but we are ready for the challenge."
