Rowing Places Fifth at MAAC Championship

The Canisius rowing team closed out the 2025-26 season Sunday morning, as the Golden Griffins took part in the 2026 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Rowing Championships at Cooper River Park in Pennsauken Township, N.J. Canisius earned 13 points and placed fifth out of six schools.

Jacksonville captured the 2026 MAAC Rowing Championship with 35 points, which was seven point better than second-place Marist. The Dolphins' title is the program's fourth in the last five years and it marked the ninth league crown since 2014.

After the day's events, the MAAC announced that senior Francesca DiCamillo was named to the 2026 All-MAAC First Team, the second-straight year she has earned first-team all-league honors. Fellow senior Addie Naylor was recognized to the 2026 All-MAAC Second Team, as well.

The Griffs' second varsity 8 entry placed fourth with a time of 7:03.820 en route to five points, and then the team's varsity 8 boat placed fifth in the grand final, with its time of 7:02.201.
