The four remaining winning crews each held open water over their competition, including the First Varsity 4+ (8:36.9), Second Varsity 4+ (9:01.7), Third Varsity 8+ (8:04.07) and Fourth Varsity 8+ (8:03.3).

  • The women’s basketball program inked another standout transfer as Aaliyah Nye, a 6-foot guard/forward from Illinois, will have immediate eligibility to compete for the Crimson Tide in the fall of 2022. Nye has played in 45 games and made 35 starts across two seasons with the Illini. As a sophomore in 2021-22 she led the team in scoring with 12.4 points per game on 41.7 percent shooting from the field (120-of-288) and 36.9 percent shooting from long range (69-of-187).
