Lions will race against Navy and Northeastern
LEONIA, N.J. — Columbia women's rowing hosts Navy and Northeastern in the Woodbury Cup on Saturday at Overpeck Park in its home opener.
The women's rowing team did not compete in last week's Doc Hosea Invitational due to weather.
At last year's Woodbury Cup, Columbia's Third Varsity eight was victorious in a three-boat race against Navy and Northeastern. The Lions settled for second place in each of the other four races, including the Woodbury Cup First Varsity 8 race, which Northeastern captured.
Both Navy and Northeastern received votes in this week's Pocock CRCA Coaches Poll.
In 2019, Columbia claimed the Woodbury Cup for the second-straight season with a 10-second victory over Northeastern on Saturday at the Charles River.
The Woodbury Cup is named in memory of former Columbia rower and team captain Melanie Woodbury, a 1996 graduate of Barnard College, who was tragically killed in an automobile accident in 2002.
