Brown wins NCAA women's rowing title

Brown captured its fifth NCAA women's rowing championship Sunday at Melton Hill Lake, while Western Washington claimed its third-consecutive Division II title.

Brown became the second squad in the meet's history to win the national title without winning a race. The Bears finished with 58 points, four clear of second-place Virginia.

“What can I say? It's just so special,” Brown coach John Murphy said. “The competition gets tougher and tougher every year and that is evident in all of the close finishes that we had this weekend.”
