INDIANAPOLIS – The No. 1 Nova Southeastern University rowing team has been selected to defend its title at the 2014 NCAA National Championship in Indianapolis beginning May 30.
NSU was selected to send its full squad to Nationals representing the South Region. The Sharks will compete in both the varsity-8 and varsity-4 events against No. 2 Humboldt State, No. 3 Western Washington, and No. 5 Mercyhurst. No. 4 Barry and No. 8 Central Oklahoma were each selected to send V8 boats to Indianapolis.
The Sharks will look to defend its 2013 NCAA National Championship and become only the second team on campus to win back-to-back national titles. NSU will look to do so against a field of teams the Sharks have had success against in 2014. NSU faced Humboldt State at the recent Aberdeen Dad Vail Regatta and defeated them in the varsity-8 race by just under a second. The Sharks are also undefeated against Barry, Mercyhurst and Central Oklahoma. However, NSU has yet to race against Western Washington this season.
In the Sharks' first heat of the V8 event, the Sharks will face off against both Barry and Mercyhurst. In the V4, the Sharks will go head-to-head against Humboldt State. At Dad Vails, the Sharks went 1-1 against Humboldt State's V4 boat.
