NORFOLK, Va. - The Old Dominion University rowing team raced the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on the Lafayette River in Norfolk, Va. earlier today. The two schools competed in a total of five different races.

Today's conditions included a strong head current with light cross chop winds (5 mph) from the north for all five of the races.

The Lady Monarchs kicked off their spring season with a couple quality results on Saturday. Old Dominion defeated UNC by nearly 13 seconds in the Varsity 8 race. Allison Giegerich headed a team of: Maeghan Pardy, Jenna Sterling, Abby Voss, Paige Madison, Colleen Rennie, Gretchen Schmitt, Keira Flanagan and Shannon Huff. ODU posted a time of 7:29.5, while North Carolina finished in 7:42.2.

Perhaps the most exciting race of day came from the Varsity Four race, which was decided by a mere five tenths of second. It was Old Dominion's boat consiting of: coxswain Ashley Payne, Kaela Woods, Ashley Mauroff, Ashley Nardiello and Chelsea Trice who prevailed in this race as well. The group of Lady Monarchs finished in 8:41.1; UNC crossed the finish-line at the 8:41.1 mark.

The Tar Heels would win the 2nd Varsity 8 and the 2nd Frosh/Novice 8 races by a combined 10 seconds over Old Dominion's boats.

Saturday's home race marked the last home event for the ODU seniors, which happens to be part of head coach Daniel Garbutt's first recruiting class. 

The Lady Monarchs will be back in action on March 30-31 against UVA in Charlottesville, Va.
