The University of Minnesota rowing team finished sixth overall at the Princeton Chase, today in Princeton, N.J.

The Golden Gophers competed in just one event at the Princeton Chase in the Women’s Varsity Eight competition. Minnesota’s boat of coxswain Illana Ostrin, Lisa Pugh at stroke, Cassie Droynski Ashlee Vilmo, Stephanie Bakkum, Lucy Mulvey, Jenna Schuder, Ali Fisher and Katie Johnson clocked a time of 15:29.967 to finish sixth.

The Golden Gophers used their own oars, but borrowed a boat from Virginia this weekend. Minnesota will face both Virginia and Indiana, who finished 15th at the Princeton Chase when the Gophers compete at the Rivanna Romp in Chicago this November.
