Gophers Open Spring Campaign with Three Wins
3/9/2022 4:40:00 PM | Rowing
Minnesota returns to the water later this month with a dual in Dallas against No. 13 SMU on Saturday, March 26.
CHULA VISTA, Calif. – The University of Minnesota rowing program returned to the water for the first time in 2022 with a trio of wins against Gonzaga on Wednesday morning.
Originally scheduled as a scrimmage, the two programs – both receiving votes in the first Pocock CRCA Poll of the season -- agreed to compete head-to-head in a dual at Otay Lake while both squads were training on the West Coast.
The Maroon & Gold were led by wins from the Second Varsity Eight, the First Varsity Four and the Second Varsity Four boats. The Second Varsity Eight clocked a time of 7:04.75 ahead of Gonzaga at 7:10.71 while the First Varsity Four (7:46.14) and the Second Varsity Four (7:53.41) both finished in front of both Bulldog boats (7:57.43, 8:03.21). Gonzaga picked up a win between the First Varsity Eight boats with Minnesota timed at 6:53.59 while the Bulldogs came in a 6:50.45.

Coach's Comments
"The Gophers did a great job racing today, and we're thankful to Gonzaga for creating this opportunity. Being able to have an early season benchmark and learning experience will serve us well moving forward," Minnesota head coach Alicea Strodel said. "It was great seeing the 2V8 and 4s get their bow balls ahead and starting the season in the right direction. This is only Day 5 on the water, and we know we have a lot of hard work ahead of us to meet our goals."
Next Up: Dual in Dallas
