Race Schedule
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - For the third year in a row, fourth-ranked Embry-Riddle women's rowing will be competing for a national title as the Eagles were one of six NCAA II programs selected to compete at the national championship on May 26-27, as announced by the NCAA on Tuesday. The Eagles placed fourth in 2021 and were third last season.

The Eagles will race against No. 1 Cal Poly Humboldt, No. 2 Central Oklahoma, No. 3 Seattle Pacific, No. 6 Western Washington, and No. 7 Thomas Jefferson on the waters of the Cooper River in Pennsauken, New Jersey at the Camden County Boathouse. It's a familiar course for the program as the Eagles were there last weekend for the Dad Vail Regatta.

This season, Embry-Riddle captured a second-straight Sunshine State Conference title, but the hardware didn't stop there. The Eagles collected four medals (one gold, three silver) to place second at the Florida Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships and added a gold in DII Varsity 8 and bronze in DII/DIII Varsity 4 at the Dad Vail Regatta.

Racing begins on Friday, May 26. The Eagles will be in Eights Heat 1, Lane 2 at 11:24 a.m. along with Cal Poly Humboldt and Western Washington. The Blue and Gold's Four boat then participates in Heat 2 at noon in the same lane against the same two opponents. Later in the afternoon, the Eights Repechage is scheduled for 4:12 p.m. while the Fours Repechage follows immediately after at 4:24 p.m.

All finals will be conducted on Saturday, May 27. The Fours Petite and Grand Finals will be at 11 a.m. and 11:12 a.m. while the Eights Petite and Grand Finals are slated for 11:48 a.m. and noon to conclude the championship.
