PHILADELPHIA - The Saint Joseph's women's rowing team capped its fall season with a successful showing at the Frostbite Regatta this past weekend. Three of the four SJU freshmen boats claimed gold for the Hawks.

The Hawks' freshmen 4 led off the day with the team's first gold medal, besting the field by more than 21 seconds. Saint Joseph's four consisted of coxswain Andi Hartfield, Lauren Rozsits, Christina DiSanto, Kim Shaffer and Kelly Sherrer.

Saint Joseph's three freshman 8s had successful days as well. The freshman "A" and "B" boats both won their hard fought races over the 2000m course. The freshman 8 "C"boat rowed a great race as well finishing a strong second to Philadelphia University.

"This was a great way to finish out the 2006 Season," said Saint Joseph's head coach Gerry Quinlan. "The freshman will now join the varsity squad in our winter training to gear up for spring and will certainly give us some momentum going into the erg-room, pool and weight-room."
