EAST LANSING, Mich.-- The No. 11 Wisconsin women's rowing team rowed to a Big Ten Double Dual split in East Lansing, Michigan on Saturday, defeating No. 16 Michigan State in the morning session but falling to No. 3 Michigan in the afternoon.
The Badgers opened up the morning with a victory in the second novice eight race, finishing with a time of 7:04.12, 18 seconds ahead of Michigan who came in second. Michigan State finished just 0.6 seconds behind the Wolverines.
"We completed a really good day of racing," head coach
Bebe Bryans said. "It was our first full-team race day and I think we had a really successful day. The weather was really good in the morning, it got a bit rough in the late afternoon, but everybody handled it really well."
The strong start for UW would carry over for the rest of the morning session as Wisconsin won every event but one. The Badgers won the third varsity four, a three-way contest between Minnesota and Michigan, second varsity four, varsity four, second varsity eight and varsity eight races against Michigan State.
The only race in which the Spartans topped the Badgers was the novice eight, winning by six seconds.
The final score between UW and MSU was 46-22 in favor of the Badgers.
The Cardinal and White began the afternoon session just as they began the morning, with a victory in the second novice eight race between Michigan and Michigan State. UW finished five seconds ahead of Michigan State and nine in front of Michigan.
Wisconsin claimed victories in the second varsity four and third varsity four but it would not prove to be enough as Michigan defeated them by a score of 44-28.
"They definitely learned some good lessons in the morning that they put together in the afternoon," Bryans said. "We just got a lot of information, a lot to work on and we're really happy to have the opportunity to go to Michigan State. We're looking forward to a couple of weeks off and then hitting it in Clemson again. We get to see Michigan again so we're happy about that as well."
The Badgers will have next weekend off before heading to Clemson, South Carolina for the Clemson Invitational on April 22-23.
