GRAND HAVEN, Mich. – The Drake University rowing team posted strong results on Sunday during the final day of the 2016 Lubbers Cup Regatta on Spring Lake. Rough water conditions and cold temperatures were again a major factor at the two-day regatta after similar conditions occurred on Saturday.
 
Drake's varsity 4 + A boat led the team on the final day by beating Cincinnati and Robert Morris. In the team's only other race on Sunday, the varsity 8 + boat was edged by fellow Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference member, Robert Morris in a tightly contest race. The second varsity 8 + race was cancelled due to poor racing conditions.
 
"Our 4 boat came together today by beating Cincinnati and Robert Morris, our fellow MAAC school," said head coach Charlie DiSilvestro. "Our 1V had a good day yesterday but unfortunately Robert Morris got us today in what has turned into a great rivalry. Looking forward to continuing it next month at conference. Our 2V didn't get a chance to race today after having a solid day yesterday so that is unfortunate, but overall it was a good weekend. We are looking forward to racing Creighton next Saturday in Omaha."
 
Drake will travel to Omaha, Neb., next Saturday to race Creighton.
