Overview
Stockton Women's Rowing competed nine times during the 2024-25 season. The Ospreys hosted the annual Battle at Brigantine and later finished the season by placing fourth at the Mid-Atlantic Rowing Conference Championships followed by a bronze medal in the varsity eight at the Dad Vail Regatta.
Third-year head coach
Chris O'Brien led a roster with just two seniors, one of whom was a rower and one a coxswain. Members of the large junior and freshman classes comprised the bulk of the two crews that rowed in the eights.
O'Brien put together a varsity eight that consisted primarily of juniors plus a couple of freshmen, under the direction of a senior coxswain. The second varsity eight was young, with five freshmen, including the coxswain, as well as two sophomores, two juniors and one senior.
