The Endicott College Club Crew team will take to the icy waters of Chebacco Lake in Hamilton, MA as soon as the ice allows. However, to warm things up the team can look forward to conditioning in the Post Sports, Science, and Fitness Center with an eye on the annual CRASH-B Springs at Boston University on Sunday, February 22. With the rest of March committed to practices or scrimmages, the men's and women's fours will look to take an early lead on April 4 in the newly created "New England Collegiate Rowing League" consisting of Endicott College, Wentworth, Brandeis, Lesley, and Roger Williams. The NECRL is the brainchild of Endicott College Crew Coach Brian Chorney and several colleagues who are building crew programs in the Boston area. The NECRL affiliation allows each school to pool resources, logistics, ideas, and networking capabilities, while ensuring a balanced competitive atmosphere. The schedule below is tentative, and may change.
