WASHINGTON - Georgetown University's women's rowing team placed third at the Patriot League Championship on the Cooper River in Camden, N.J., on Friday. The Hoyas advanced to all three Grand Finals, finishing second overall in the varsity 4+ race, fourth overall in the varsity 8+ event and fifth overall in the second varsity 8+ showdown.

The third-place finish was a program best for the Hoyas since joining the Patriot League in women's rowing during the 2014 season. Georgetown's medal in the 4+ race was also a first for the Blue & Gray.

All three boats left no doubt about their spots in the grand finals, as both 8+ boats and the 4+ crew finished second in their respective qualifying heats.

Navy claimed its third-straight Patriot League Championship with 51 points, followed by Boston University with 46. The Hoyas were third with 36 points, followed by Bucknell (34), MIT (33, Lehigh (26) and Holy Cross (26). Colgate (11) and Loyola (Md.) (7) rounded out the standings.
