CHERRY HILL, N.J. - Thanks to all three boats recording top-two finishes in the Grand Finals, the Boston University women's rowing program secured the 2022 Patriot League Championship on Friday afternoon at Cooper River Park.

BU wins its second Patriot League championship in program history, and the first since 2014. Unseating six-time defending champion Navy, the Terriers earned 50 points in the event to finish ahead of second-place Bucknell (48). The Mids took bronze with 46 points.

For the first time since joining the league, BU won gold in the Second Varsity 8 Grand Final. The Terriers placed second in the Varsity 8 and Varsity 4 Grand Finals as well.

Director of Women's Rowing Madeline Davis Tully, in her fifth season, was named the 2022 Patriot League Coach of the Year.

The Terriers' season continues with the 2022 NCAA Championships, held at Nathan Benderson Park in Sarasota, Fla. from May 27-29. The Division I selection show is slated for Tuesday (May 17).

HOW IT HAPPENED

The Terriers' Varsity Eight boat, with Mia Ball as the coxswain and Kat Robbins in the stroke seat, guided BU to the top time in the morning heats at 7:02.569. In the Grand Final, the Terriers shaved over five seconds off their time to clock in at 6:57.150. Bucknell won with open water at 6:49.813, but BU fended off a late push from Navy, who came in at 6:59.210.

BU's Second Varsity Eight, coxed by Trisha Jaggi and stroked by Tiare Hicks, also helped the Terriers post the fastest time in the preliminaries at 7:18.418, almost seven seconds ahead of the next-fastest boat. The Grand Final performance came in at 7:06.624, almost three seconds ahead of the Mids, who finished in 7:09.483. BU held a five-to-six seat advantage for the majority of the race for its first-ever gold medal in the 2V8.

The Varsity Four, featuring Audrey Lucerne as the coxswain and Hannah Look in the stroke seat, finished in 8:22.122 to secure the fastest time in the heats. In the Grand Final, the Terriers crossed the finish at 8:14.742 to finish a few seats behind Navy.
