The Virginia women's rowing team, currently No. 3 in the nation, hosted a regatta for five other teams this past weekend at Lake Monticello, winning eight of the nine varsity races.
The regatta, which included races Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning, was a triple duel, coach Kevin Sauer said, as the Cavaliers raced teams from Michigan State, Wisconsin and Oregon State.
While all boats factor into the success of the team, Sauer cited the performance in the varsity races as a good indicator of the team's ability.
"It is about what you do against the other schools' varsity boats," he said.
