PRINCETON, N.J. (Carnegie Lake) – Less than 24 hours before the Patriot League Championships, the Bucknell women's rowing team faced a handful of ranked opponents on Saturday. The Bison openweights faced No. 2 Princeton and No. 17 Dartmouth, while the fifth-ranked lightweight eight went up against No. 3 Princeton and No. 4 Radcliffe.
Bucknell competed in seven total races Saturday winning two, the third varsity eight and the second varsity four.
