The Basics
The Bulldogs are set to race in Camden, New Jersey in the Knecht Cup on Saturday, April 13, and Sunday, April 14. The regatta will have heats on Saturday morning, semi-finals on Saturday afternoon and finals on Sunday morning. The Knecht Cup will be raced in the same location where the MAAC Championships will be held on May 19.
Head Coach Charlie DiSilvestro on the Knecht Cup
"We're going to see the bulk of our conference opponents this weekend. So it's a great preview for the championship back here on this course in a month. (Seeing) how we stack up against our conference rivals is at the top of our list."
The Weather Outlook for the Weekend
DiSilvestro said that there will be wind coming through New Jersey during the races, but there is no inclement weather aside from that. DiSilvestro hopes the wind will fall on the backs of the rowers throughout the weekend.
