BOSTON – The Boston University women's rowing team will compete at the Patriot League Rowing Championship in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, on Friday. Nine programs overall will race on the Cooper River in competitions between the varsity eight, second varsity eight and varsity four boats.

The top three boats in each of the morning heats (8 a.m. start) will advance to the Grand Finals, which will begin at 1:15 p.m. following the completion of the Petite Finals (12:30 p.m. start).

Navy has claimed the last six automatic NCAA berths after the Terriers last won in 2014. In 2021, BU took silver in the varsity four and bronze in the two eight races to place third overall.

The Terriers last earned gold in the varsity eight race back in 2017. They'll enter this year's competition with confidence, as the V8 has earned two PL Boat of the Week awards this spring, highlighted by wins over rivals Northeastern and Boston College. The 2V8 was named Boat of the Week as well after finishing fourth at Eastern Sprints back on May 1.

The event will be scored on a weighted scale, with nine points for the winner of the varsity four race, 18 for the second varsity eight and 27 for the varsity eight. The school that accumulates the most total points in the three races will be crowned the Patriot League champion. If there is a tie for first place in the final point total, the higher-place finisher of the Varsity Eight race will be named the Patriot League champion.
