PRINCETON, N.J. – No. 10 Brown University women's crew won three races and topped No. 6 Ohio State University in the first varsity eight, competing at No. 8 Princeton University with OSU on Saturday morning at Lake Carnegie in its spring season opener.

"Princeton and Ohio State are two extremely good, tough rowing programs," Brown head coach John Murphy said. "I think we had a good day against them, and I think it was a really good start. We won the first three races, and everybody raced hard. It was a good beginning to the season, and I think it's something we can build on."

Competing against two of the top-eight ranked programs in the country, the Bears finished first in the A varsity four, B varsity four, and third varsity eight while finishing second in the first varsity eight and third in the second varsity eight.
