CHERRY HILL, N.J. – Catholic women's rowing returned to the Cooper River for day two of the Knecht Cup on Sunday. The Cardinals raced in two finals and its varsity eight crew recorded another first place finish.

Prior to the start of the regatta, Catholic honored its three graduating seniors. Abigail Harris, Katherine Hourani and Lauren McGinn have made a tremendous impact on the rowing program and will continue to do so throughout their final season.
