OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. – The MSOE women's rowing team made their way to the University of Central Oklahoma for their first competition of their spring season, as they lined up with the host and nationally ranked Bronchos and the Blue Jays of Creighton University for cross-divisional racing.
RESULTS
1. Creighton A 7:13.06
2. Central Oklahoma A 7:22.34
3. MSOE RAIDERS 8:00.30
4. Creighton 8:09.32
5. Creighton C 8:45.07
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Raiders crew consisted of Ava Pike, Katerina Flierl, Paige Phillips, Duaa Aljalous, Kaliska Klusmeyer, Madison Mina, Autumn Bunker and Jenn Miller, led by coxswain Brooke Stanley down the course. The Raiders sped down the Oklahoma River in a time of 8:00.30, beating out the Blue Jay's 2V8+ and 3V8+ boats, for a third place finish behind the Bronchos and Blue Jays 1V8+ boats.
HOW IT HAPPENED
"It was special having our first race of the spring season against my alma mater, UCO, and having the team race against former teammates of mine. Today was their first time on the water this spring and they came out with a bang, showing the winter season gains. It's rare to get racing five lanes across this early in the season and lining up against D1 and D2 competition was a great opportunity to see their speed as we kick off our spring training trip." – Head Coach Sydney Large
WHO'S ON DECK
The Raiders will be back in action on Saturday, April 5th, when they make the trip to Adrian, Michigan for a dual against Adrian College and Marietta College. Start times are TBA.
