Navy Lights Sweep Georgetown

April 15, 2006

ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Navy's varsity boat improved to 4-1 on the season with a nine-second victory over Georgetown, Saturday morning on the Severn River as part of a dual meet between the two lightweight crew teams. The victory in the varsity race was part of a Navy sweep on the day.

"I think this was our best racing of the season, up-and-down the lineup," said Navy head coach Rob Friedrich. "It was a good next step in our progress this season. We now will prepare for a big challenge from Harvard next Saturday."

Navy's varsity boat posted a time of 6:04.21 to top Georgetown's entry by nine seconds (6:13.6). Navy's second varsity crew recorded a time of 6:05.33 to finish five seconds ahead of Navy's third varsity boat and 19 seconds in front of Georgetown's second varsity entry.

The Mids also won the freshman eight race by 13 seconds and the freshman four race by 15 seconds.
