No. 8 Open Women Beat Pair Of Top 10 Opponents In Season Opener
Head coach Lori Dauphiny hoped the momentum of a strong 2009 postseason would translate when the eighth-ranked Princeton open women began their 2010 season. With a win in the Class of 1987 Oar Award regatta against a pair of Top 10 opponents, it seemed that there is still plenty of positive energy in Princeton.
