CHARLOTTESVILLE The 15th-ranked Virginia rowing team travels to Boston on Saturday, April 25, for two three-team events. The Cavaliers will race against Gonzaga and Northeastern in the morning, followed by Harvard and Southern California in the afternoon.

The races begin at 8 a.m., and will take place on the Charles River. Northeastern serves as the host for the event.

Virginia is coming off of a second-place finish at the ACC Championships, held Monday in Oak Ridge, Tenn. The Second Varsity Eight, highlighted by ACC Rookie of the Year Martha Kuzzy, won its race in a time of 6:49.3, edging Clemson (6:57.1) and Miami (7:18.42).
