QUOTES

"It was great to see so many fast teams at the Princeton Chase. We haven't been in a few years and it's clear the level of speed has very much increased. All of our boats put forth great effort, but we're not satisfied. It's a good moment for us to turn our attention towards rebuilding and strengthening into the winter and start of spring." – head coach Megan Cooke Carcagno
