Tigers Face Columbia, Princeton

CLEMSON, S.C. — The women’s rowing team returns to action this weekend at Overpeck Lake in Leonia, N.J., to take on Columbia and Princeton. The regatta is scheduled for Saturday morning. The three schools are slated to compete in the Second Varsity 4+ (10:12 a.m.), First Varsity 4+ (10:24 a.m.), Second Varsity 8+ (10:36 a.m.) and First Varsity 8+ (10:48 a.m.).

Clemson has a pair of competitions under its belt so far this spring season, the Oak Ridge Cardinal Invitational and Carolinas Cup. The Tigers face a stiff challenge in the form of Princeton, ranked eighth in the latest USRowing/CRCA poll. The Ivy League Tigers were sixth in the grand finals of both eights a year ago at the NCAA Championships. Columbia swept Rutgers in three races last weekend in its home opener.
