History

[edit]

UMass women's rowing has won the Atlantic 10 rowing title 16 times, in 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2014, 2015, and 2017.[2]

The Minutewomen rowing team has been a varsity sport since the 1994-95 season and a member of the Atlantic 10 since the 1995-96 season.

UMass rowing won its 16th and most recent Atlantic 10 championship in 2017.[3]

On July 19, 2024, it was announced that women's rowing would be moving to the Mid-American Conference (MAC) as part of the new MAC women's rowing league starting in the 2025-26 season.[4] The first MAC rowing championship is scheduled to be held in the spring of 2026.
