"We are excited to welcome this group of four to our program," said head coach Mark Rothstein. "Sabrina, Lana, Malin and Sophia are exciting additions to the University of Michigan Rowing program and the staff, team and I want to welcome each of them as they prepare to join us next fall. Our staff and current student-athletes have done an incredible job of representing our program in a positive light and highlighting what it means to be a Wolverine. It is a credit to them that we are able to welcome this group to our program."
"Each year, we continue to work toward our goals of winning a championship in an expanded Big Ten and performing on the NCAA Championship stage.
