Princeton, here we come!

This weekend, the NU women Huskies will travel to Princeton, New Jersey, for the Princeton Chase on Sunday, October 28. They will compete against a slew of their biggest competition--nearly every East Coast heavy-hitter will be there, as well as plenty more: Yale, Brown, Princeton, Dartmouth, Radcliffe, Syracuse, Virginia, Columbia, Wisconsin, Penn, Cornell, Boston College, Rutgers. Virginia was last year's winner in 15:50 over three miles and the Huskies finished 12th after a less-than-stellar performance. The Huskies are bringing two eights: one varsity with the same line-up from the Charles as well as a junior varsity boat stacked with four talented freshman as well as freshman coxswain Rachel Buff at the helm.

This has traditionally not been the Huskies' greatest race, so the main goal for the weekend is to build from their performance from the Charles, not experience their usual sag.

We'll keep you posted!
