Navy Picked Second in League Rowing Poll
March 14, 2008
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. -- Two-time defending champion Bucknell placed first and back-to-back runner-up Navy finished in second place in the Patriot League's 2008 women's rowing preseason poll of the league's coaches and sports information offices, the league announced this week. Bucknell, winners of the team championship in both 2006 and '07, tallied 32 points and eight first-place votes to head the list of the five league teams. Navy, the winner of the league's inaugural team title in 2005, garnered the remaining two first-place nods and totaled 25 points in the voting to finish in second place. Colgate, the third-place team at last year's championship, was picked to repeat its position from a year ago with 19 points, Lehigh was tabbed to finish in fourth place this spring after accruing 14 points in the poll and Holy Cross was picked for fifth place with its total of 10 points. The Mountain Hawks and the Crusaders tied for fourth place at the 2007 championship. The Midshipmen finished second to the Bison in each of the three racing flights and in the overall team points competition at last year's championship. Navy returns seven of the nine members of its varsity boat that took to the water in the league's regatta last year, but only a combined total of four members from last year's second varsity (2 of 9) and varsity four (2 of 5) crews return for the Mids this year. The 2008 championship will be held April 27 on the Cooper River in Camden, N.J. 2008 Patriot League Preseason Poll
