Boston, MA

The Northeastern University women's crew team will compete in the first-ever Colonial Athletic Association Championship on Saturday, April 18, on the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia.

The CAA is in its first season sponsoring women's rowing and has five full CAA members currently sponsor women’s rowing at the intercollegiate level - the University of Delaware, Drexel University, George Mason University, Northeastern University and Old Dominion University. Joining that group as an associate member in women’s rowing will be the University of Buffalo.

14 of Northeastern’s 19 intercollegiate sports are now affiliated with the CAA and compete for the conference championship. That list includes, baseball, men’s & women’s basketball, men’s & women’s cross country, field hockey, football, women’s rowing, men’s & women’s soccer, women’s swimming & diving, men’s & women’s outdoor track & field and volleyball.

The CAA Championship will begin at 10 a.m. on April 18 and will feature races in the Women’s Varsity 8, Women’s Varsity 4 and the Women’s Second Varsity 8.

The women's team begins its 2009 regatta season next Saturday, April 4, when the Huskies row against Boston College, Dartmouth and Rhode Island on the Charles River.
