PHILADELPHIA – After a clean sweep against Holy Cross on Overpeck Lake for the heavyweights, and competitive races against Bucknell and Mercyhurst for the lightweights, both squads return to the Schuylkill River this Saturday for the Bergen Cup.
Last week, the Owls' Varsity Eight, ranked 9th in the recent IRCA poll, pulled off the victory against then #16 Holy Cross by a margin of 16 seconds. The second varsity eight boat followed it up shortly after with a six second victory of its own, and in the last race of the day the third varsity eight and freshman eight came in first and second, respectively.
