COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The No. 3-ranked University of Michigan rowing team earned three victories and the second novice boat earned another in racing against top competition on Saturday (April 15).

U-M picked up wins in the 1V4, 3V4 and 2V8 races, while the first novice squad picked up another. It was a particularly strong performance for the 2V8 boat, which has only lost to No. 1 Washington so far in the month of April (4-1 overall).
