April 14, 2019 | Women's Rowing, Features
The USC women's rowing team placed first in each race on Sunday (April 14) on the final day of the Lake Natoma Invitational by beating Notre Dame and Gonzaga.
"The Lake Natoma Invite was a great regatta," said USC head coach Josh Adam. "We want to thank Cal and Sacramento State for hosting. We also want to thank all of the parents, fans and staff that came out to support the Women of Troy. The team raced well in all three boats this morning. Notre Dame and Gonzaga are great competitors and we handled what we could control very well. We are training to take another step forward as we focus upon the Longhorn Invite in two weeks."
