The crew members for Northeastern’s varsity eight included Isabella Hsia as coxswain, Ava Sjogren at stroke, Heather Taylor in seat seven, Grace Theobald in seat six, Sophia Wolfenberg in seat five, Hannah Boone in seat four, Julia Halbreich in seat three, Esther Littlefield in seat two and Stina Dewes at bow.
Northeastern is scheduled to compete again on Saturday, April 4 on the Charles River against Boston University.
