The Terriers, who remained second in the Lightweight Women's Varsity 8+ Poll on April 26, will send out five crews in the lightweight category, which begins at 12:10 p.m. BU squares off against No. 1 Princeton, No. 3 Georgetown, No. 5 Harvard-Radcliffe, No. 6 Wisconsin, and Gordon across the entries.
BU returns to the water for the first time in two weeks after taking part in the Knecht Cup in New Jersey from April 15-16. Six different Terrier boats recorded top-three events, including wins in the Lightweight 4 and Lightweight 8. BU won two medals in the Women's Double, and one in the Varsity 4 and Varsity 8.
Last year, the Terriers finished in the top-three in three of the five races. The Lightweight 4 "B" boat was victorious in a time of 7:45.338. Each lightweight doubles crew medaled in their respective categories.
