For the third year in a row, the NESCAC will have four schools competing in the eight-team field at the 2025 NCAA Women's Rowing Championships.
Tufts, the defending NCAA Champion and the 2025 NESCAC Champion, is joined in the field by Bates, Wesleyan, and Williams. After winning the conference title, the Jumbos were an automatic qualifier, while the Bobcats, Cardinals, and Ephs were at-large selections. A NESCAC school has won 17 national titles since the championship began in 2002.
The 2025 NCAA Division III Women's Rowing Championship will be held May 30-31 at Mercer Lake in West Windsor, N.J.
