The Dragons third varsity eight shell, racing in Lois Krall, took home a silver medal in the third race, crossing the finish line at 6:06.9, just behind St. Joseph's (6:03.7). Drexel's varsity four (Dan Lyons) and fourth varsity eight each tallied bronze finishes while the Dragon's freshman eight plus shell, competing in Joseph Greipp, battled to a first-place finish with a time of 5:58.2.
