WORCESTER, Mass. - The Lehigh women's rowing team wrapped up its season at the Patriot League Championships on Friday, finishing eighth. The Mountain Hawks enjoying several highlight moments on Lake Quinsigamond, led by the Varsity Eight winning the Petite Finals. The Second Varsity Eight stayed within seconds of Holy Cross for most of its race, but fell just four seconds short of winning its Petite Final.
Â
"The great thing about today was that both boats found their best races of the season at some point in the regatta," said Lehigh head coach Brian Conley. "That's all I can ask for as the coach. They put forth the effort that will be needed to eventually become the championship team we want to be."
Â
In the morning, the Women's Varsity Eight finished fourth in a highly-contested heat, posting a time of 7:07.129. Boston University, who came in first, had a time of 6:59.729. The Second Varsity Eight then placed fourth in its heat with a time of 7:50.046.
Â
In the Petite Finals, Lehigh's Second Varsity Eight finished second with a time of 7:54.665 while the Varsity Eight won the Petite Finals in 7:35.657.
Â
"The Varsity Eight had their best race in the heat, but were beaten by better teams," said Conley. "The Second Varsity Eight had the race of their lives in the Petite Final, where you want to have the best race. They did a great job, going neck and neck with Holy Cross on the way down the course."
Â
Friday marked the end of a productive season for the Mountain Hawks. Even though the results didn't always show it on paper, the team is making strong progress.
Â
"Coming into the early part of the season, we really didn't know where we would stand at all," said Conley. "We didn't have a lot of depth in terms of our upperclassmen, but the upperclassmen that we had really stepped up throughout the year. The freshmen and the underclassmen followed their lead and began the start of a team culture that we want. While the results won't show in terms of placement, the margin in relation to competition is improving. It's a whole process that we took on this year and the team bought in."
