Men's Rowing | April 21, 2021
PHILADELPHIA - The La Salle University men's rowing program has made an impressive improvement under the direction of first-year head coach Jeff Garbutt this spring, and the national polls are noticing.The Explorers' varsity 8+ crew received votes in the latest Intercollegiate Rowing Coaches Association Top 20 Poll, announced on April 20. The group received six votes and ranks 24th nationally.
Through two races this season, La Salle has posted impressive results and most recently defeated Loyola (Md.)'s group by over 23 seconds, despite missing a pair of starters due to minor injuries.
In the season opener, the Explorers took the water against three crews that are ranked in the Top 13 nationally and held their own through the first half of the race. La Salle's boat was neck-and-neck with Penn, ranked 12th in the latest poll, before falling off the pace late.
La Salle will look to continue its early success on Saturday, May 1 with the Bergen Cup.
