BOSTON – Facing a strong international field this weekend, the Saint Joseph's women's rowing team had a strong showing in its three events at the Head of the Charles Regatta.

"We had a great trip to Boston; results were really solid. Most important to us is where are we against our A-10 competition, and we are in a really great place as far as time. We have overcome a lot this fall and are looking forward to where we can go as a team," said Saint Joseph's head coach Gerry Quinlan.
