CAMDEN, N.J. - The Rhode Island women's rowing varsity eight team placed third at the ECAC Metro Championships Saturday morning and qualified for the 2009 Eastern Sprints.

The Rhody varsity eight took third in the event after it clocked a time of 6:46.7 to edge out conference rivals Fordham (6:51.5) and Massachusetts (6:51.9) in the grand final race.

In the second varsity eight event, Rhody took third in the grand final race as it posted a time of 7:05.4.
