ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFAthletics.com) - The UCF novice rowing team returns to the water for the first time in 2012, marking the beginning of the spring season. Four boats are set to compete in three events at the 32nd Annual Metro Cup Regatta, Saturday, hosted by Rollins University in Winter Park.
Last year's Metro Cup Regatta marked the first race for the novice team, where they took home the Yeuell Trophy. The Knights hope to repeat that result this year against host Rollins and Duquesne on the 2000-meter Lake Maitland course.
The Knights' first race is scheduled to start at 9:45 a.m. and will be the first of seven events for the novice team this fall under first-year novice coach Tracey Tallman.
"Tomorrow is an exciting day for us," Tallman said. "It kicks off our spring season and it is the first time most of these women will be experiencing a spring race. The Metro Cup is a great opportunity for these women to learn how to race and prepare for the rest of the spring season. I look forward to tomorrow and am ready to see these ladies do some pretty amazing things this year."
Two boats will be competing in the College Women's 2nd/Novice 4 race at 9:45 a.m. Following, will be the College Women's 1st/Novice 4 at 10:45 a.m. and the College Women's 8 at noon.
Next Saturday, the Knights return to their home course on Lake Pickett when both the novice and varsity team will compete in a scrimmage against Nova Southeastern University.
