QUOTABLES– Head Coach Robert Weber
"I think this was an extremely valuable weekend for us. It was our first real race experience of the spring, and to come away with two crews racing in finals and a podium finish is really exciting for the program. The Frosh 4+ shows great promise for the future of the program, and the Varsity 4+ had a very gutsy and mature race today after racing three times yesterday. Our athletes are learning what real rowing is, what it takes to be competitive, and what they're capable of doing."

The Colonials will hit the water again next Sunday as they head to Fairfax, Virginia, to compete in the George Mason Invitational.
