Down the road, these experiences will help us tremendously. This group has been eager to compete in this event for weeks, and I feel confident we will have success this weekend."
The Green Wave will sail against 16 of the country's top teams on the water, including Christopher Newport, Cornell, Eckerd, Fordham, George Washington, Hampton, Jacksonville, Northeastern, Old Dominion, Roger Williams, NY Maritime, Salve Regina, Kings Point, Michigan, Rhode Island and USF.
