PHILADELPHIA - The Saint Joseph's women's team arrived in England earlier this week for the Henley Royal Regatta on the River Thames in Oxfordshire, England, June 18-20. It marks Saint Joseph's second trip to Henley and first since 2006. The Hawks earned the invitation by way of their second-place finish in the Aberdeen Dad Vail Regatta.
