INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — On Tuesday evening, the NCAA announced the 22 teams that will participate in the NCAA Women's Rowing National Championship in West Windsor, N.J. starting on Friday, May 30. For the first time since 2011, Dartmouth earned an at-large bid for the NCAA National Championship. It will be the fifth time in program history that the team will appear at the event.

The Big Green joined Yale, Princeton, Brown, Harvard and Penn as Ivy League teams in the 2025 NCAA Championship.

"It is pretty surreal," said John Graves, The Elizabeth C. McNabb Head Coach of Women's Rowing. "As a team, we felt like we were in a good position, but until you see your name up on the board, it's not real yet. All the emotions flew in once we saw Dartmouth pop up. Amazing moment."
