The No. 11 Iowa women’s rowing team will compete in its last regular-season races this weekend in Princeton, New Jersey, as it prepares for the Big Ten Championships, and later in May, the NCAA Championships.

Iowa will travel east this weekend to compete against No. 7 Princeton, No. 15 Syracuse, and Penn.
The Hawkeyes will try to knock off Princeton, something no other team has done this season. Syracuse is coming off a sixth-place finish at the Clemson Invitational on Sunday, and Penn finished 15th at the same event.

The schedule of events for Saturday’s races are as follows: C Four race — 9:15 a.m. B Four race — 9:35 a.m. Third Varsity — 9:55 a.m. A Fours — 10:10 a.m. Second Varsity — 10:30 a.m. First Varsity — 10:45 a.m.
