University of Toledo to Add Women’s Rowing as a Varsity Sport in 2025-26

TOLEDO, Ohio – The University of Toledo announced today that it will add women's rowing as a varsity sport beginning in the 2025-26 school year.

Women's rowing, which will compete at the NCAA Division I level, will be the 17th varsity sport at Toledo and the first new addition to the Athletics program since women's soccer was added in 1995. A head coach is expected to be hired later this year, with a full year of acclimation leading into regular season competition in the fall of 2025. The full squad will feature approximately 50-60 student-athletes on its roster.
