Coach Ng says…
"This weekend we travel to the Knecht Cup, a two-day regatta and another opportunity for our varsity eight and varsity four to race twice in one day and then race the finals on Sunday. We will encounter different competition, but nevertheless the challenge is for us to race our best piece from point A to point B no matter who we are racing.
 
"We've had a solid week of preparation after what was a very up and down Ivy Invitational. I think we have been able to address some of our errors and emphasized some of the things that we're doing well, and there have been some lineup adjustments as a result. I'm really looking forward to seeing our group execute in live conditions."
