Novice Eight Victory Highlights Final Fall Race Against Creighton

Des Moines, IA - The Bulldogs finished their fall season at home but dropped the race to Creighton. Drake and Creighton have faced head-to-head for over 30 years, and they compete for a trophy. Despite the loss, the Bulldog novice eight won its race.

"We were very happy with the team today," said Head Coach Charlie DiSilvestro. "We were disappointed that we didn't win the trophy, but we're proud of them for how well they raced and how disciplined they raced today."

The race in Des Moines isn't a full 2,000-meter course, so they race 6,000 meters in best two-of-three fashion.
