2016 Outlook - "With our strongest incoming freshman class ever, and our first recruited class entering their senior year, we have more depth than at any time in our short history. Both eights showed great speed in the Fall and the fours have been accelerating rapidly. We look forward to continuing our best winter training yet in our expanded GriffCave (40 ergs, 12 Swingulator seats, and big-screen racing), but we're already on the water and gaining speed. It's a great year to be a Griff!"

2015 Outlook - "In the Canisius program's fourth year, we remain a young team heavy on potential but with considerable depth. Our largest-ever incoming class has made its presence known and our upper classes have responded. As we bear down on winter training we look forward to key Spring races at the Knecht Cup and the MAAC Championship, now moved to May 17. Our conference is one of great parity, and with an NCAA bid at stake, it's sure to be a great race!"

2014 Outlook - "Our third-year program is looking to build off a 7th place finish at the 2013 Head of the Charles (4th among colleges) and to improve on last year's 3rd place finish at the conference championship. Our schedule features 13 trips to the starting line against conference foes, NCAA-qualified crews, and former national champions; highlights include the Longhorn Invitational hosted by the University of Texas, the Knecht Cup, and our MAAC Championship -- which is an automatic qualifier for the NCAA championship. We have four committed seniors/graduate students who are leading our young team forward!"

Returning Varsity 8+ Athletes - 5

2013 Seniors - 8

2013 Outlook - "In our second year we've seen an explosive growth in our team speed thanks to a great freshman class (including two great coxswains) and key transfers with Division 1 experience, all of whom have brought out the best from our returning rowers. Our schedule takes us throughout the northeast and down to Florida to face MAAC opponents weekly -- while also racing great crews from the Big East, ACC, and other established conferences. Our conference championship on April 27 will yield an automatic qualifier to the NCAA Championship for the first time, and we aim to be in the mix!"

Returning Varsity 8+ Athletes - 0

2012 Seniors - 4

2012 Outlook - "We're a young program with no previous varsity experience, but we've formed a committed core of women who understand the demands of Division 1 rowing and academics. This is my third time starting a program (assisting at Virginia and leading UNC to the 1998 NCAAs) and as with those programs, much of what we hope to accomplish this spring involves team-building, establishing traditions, and developing the team's own expectations. We're on track for good competitive results in the Metro-Atlantic Athletic Conference this year as a springboard to NCAA Championship participation in the near future."
