Stevens Crew opened its season with a strong showing at the Head of the Passaic Regatta in Lyndhurst, NJ, on Sunday, October 4, earning first- and second-place finishes in the Men's Collegiate 4+ 4.7-kilometer race. The Ducks entered two boats in the event, with both crews contributing to a successful start to the season. Boat A, guided by coxswain Quinn Gainey, featured Cooper Sheridan at stroke, Jonathan Biczac in the three seat, Jacob Steg in the two seat, and James Kogan at bow. The crew secured first place with a time of 22:54.83. Boat B, led by coxswain Aidan Berard, included Chris D'Addesa at stroke, Evan Espinoza in the three seat, Jack Gonser in the two seat, and Samuel Pearce at bow. That crew completed the course in 24:18.36 to claim second place and give Stevens the top two spots in the event. With both boats earning strong results in their first competition of the season, the Ducks will look to build on their opening performance when they return to the water for the Head of the Housatonic on Saturday, October 10.
