Galloway, N.J. – The Stockton University varsity eight was named MARC Crew of the Week by the Mid-Atlantic Rowing Conference for its performance at the Knecht Cup last weekend. At the regatta, the Ospreys won the gold medal in the Women's Varsity Eight-DIII for the first time since 1999.
The rowers were
Emily Latshaw (Toms River/TR South),
Amber Hartzell (Merchantville/Haddon Hts.),
Megan Baldwin (Brigantine/Holy Spirit),
Madelynn Schina (Somerdale/Highland),
Marissa Martinelli (Burlington/Burlington Twp.),

Lorelei Hendricks (Burlington/Doane Academy) was the coxswain for the varsity eight. Stockton won with a time of 7:30.85 that was a dominant 21 seconds ahead of runner-up Bryn Mawr. A day earlier, the Ospreys qualified with the fastest time, 7:35.53, and they knocked five seconds off that mark in the final.
