ORLANDO, Fla. – The Nova Southeastern rowing squad opened its fall action this Saturday in a scrimmage against UCF on Lake Pickett.
 
"All in all, a good day for the team to get in a competitive environment where the stakes are higher than in practice," explained head coach Devin Fay. "It was a mutually beneficial row where both teams got to test their improvements from the fall against outside competition. All NSU boats saw huge improvements in speed as the day wore on."
