Worcester, Mass - #10 Colby Women's Crew returned to Worcester this weekend to race WPI, Clark, and Connecticut College. The team was met with grey skies, cool temps, and a light tailwind. On the water, the Mules please the spectators with a thrilling performance. All three Colby crews won their races in great fashion. After the racing, Head Coach Stew Stokes commented that "We're very proud of the way CWC handled some really tough opponents. Winning all three races is a testament to the depth of the team, the hard work they've put in, and the progress they've made in the first few weeks of the season.
