YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) -
The Eastern Michigan University women's rowing team continues its spring slate this weekend when it returns to the 21st annual Lubbers Cup, Saturday-Sunday, April 9-10 in Spring Lake, Mich.

The Lubbers Cup, named after former Grand Valley State University president, Arend D. Lubbers, features hundreds of student-athletes and some of the top rowing teams from the Midwest. Since its origin in 1995, the Lubbers Cup Regatta has grown into an event that attracts over 500 student-athletes to the Spring Lake Yacht Club each year.

The Eagles have participated in the Lubbers Cup the past six seasons, and found their most success in the event last year.  The Eagles captured five wins in the first day of competition, including three wins from their Varsity 8 boat and two wins from their Varsity 4 boat.  In the second day of races, the Varsity 4 boat won the Michaud Family Cup, which is awarded to the top women's Varsity 4 team.

This season EMU will put three boats in the water, with the team participating in the Varsity 8, Novice 8 and Varsity 4 races.  The other teams participating on the women's side are host Grand Valley State, Case Western, Cincinnati, Dayton, DePaul, Drake, Illinois, Marquette, Purdue, and Robert Morris.

"I am looking forward to getting our boats out for our first 2K racing," Head Coach Kemp Savage stated.  "All three boats are moving well right now and have the ability to place very highly this weekend."

EMU will race multiple times throughout both days.  For a full list of the races, please click here.
