WEST WINDSOR, N.J. - In its last race of the regular season, the Columbia heavyweight rowing team looks to come away with a win in the Maxwell Stevenson Cup for a third consecutive year.
WHAT'S ON THE LINE
The Maxwell Stevenson Cup is raced between Navy and Columbia, and was named after the top athletics administrator at Columbia in the 1940s. The cup was first presented in 1950.
COLUMBIA'S STATUS
The No. 15 Lions fell to Syracuse and Boston University last Saturday in a tough day of racing for the Doc Lusins Cup.
GEORGE WASHINGTON'S STATUS
No. 17 George Washington fell to No. 5 Brown and No. 8 Dartmouth last weekend on the Seekonk river.
HOBART'S STATUS
Last weekend Hobart was able to pick up three wins at the Stanford Invitational, including ones against Georgetown and Santa Clara University in the Second Varsity event and one against Santa Clara in the Varsity Eight as well.
NAVY'S STATUS
Last weekend No. 16 Navy fell to No. 4 Harvard and No. 14 Penn in the Adams Cup.
A LOOK BACK...
Last year the Lions topped all three crews in order to maintain the Maxwell Stevenson Cup for the second consecutive year and just the sixth time since 1950. Columbia was edged by Georgetown in the Second Varsity Eight, and fell short of Georgetown and Navy in the Third Varsity event.
