LAS VEGAS, Nev. – The Drexel University men's rowing team opened its spring season with a strong performance at the Las Vegas Invitational on Sunday.

In a pair of head-to-head races for the varsity 8+, the Dragons came away victorious in both. DU opened the day, edging Oregon State by just more than a second before beating Santa Clara comfortably in its next dual of the morning.

The Drexel V8+ finished second in its only three-team race of the day, besting Santa Clara, but placed behind Cal.

The 2V8+ boat had a trio of three-team races. The Dragons opened the day with a second place finish behind Cal, but ahead of Oregon State. In its second race, DU won, beating Santa Clara by more than 12 seconds and was 16 seconds clear of San Diego. The final event saw Drexel finish second, trailing Cal and topping San Diego.

The Dragons are back in action on Saturday, March 19 when they return to Philadelphia to take on Villanova and La Salle on the Schuylkill River.
