Recap in a Minute
UMass heads to the HOCR on the heels of hosting the second annual Hadley Chase along the Connecticut River on Sat., Oct. 13. Despite rain throughout parts of the regatta, a spectacular crowd turned out to watch the Minutewomen compete alongside a total of 17 other programs.
Â
"It was a good start today with a lot of competition," said head coach Jim Dietz. "I think it went pretty well and our younger boats did really well. For the fours to finish where they finished I thought that was pretty good as well. This time of year you're working on everything."
