FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Nova Southeastern University today announced the reinstatement of the women’s rowing program, following a brief hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We are pleased to welcome women’s rowing back as the 17th NCAA Division II sponsored sport for NSU Athletics,” said Michael Mominey, NSU Director of Athletics / Associate Vice President for Advancement. The NSU women’s rowing program has been one of the most successful sports in our history and we look forward to them continuing to succeed on the water and in the classroom.”
A national search will commence immediately for a head coach to lead the NSU women’s rowing program in preparation for competition in the 2023-24 academic year.
“I am very happy that we are reinstating our women’s rowing team this year – we all understand how important a role sports play in a well-rounded college experience,” said Dr. George Hanbury, NSU’s President and CEO. “Our program was very successful, but the pandemic forced us to take that drastic action. Now that we’re back, I am fully confident our student-athletes will once again rise to the highest levels of competition.”
In its first year after being added as a sport by Nova Southeastern in 2003-04, the varsity-8 crew saw immediate success in the programs first year by earning a trip to the NCAA Rowing Championships and victory in the petite final over Sunshine State Conference rival Barry University.
