The Huskies have taken home the CAA title 11 times overall since 2009, all under head coach Joe Wilhelm. This marks the first year the championship will be held in New York at Fish Creek. The CAA field includes Delaware, Drexel, Eastern Michigan, Monmouth, UC San Diego, UConn and Villanova. The scoring races in the CAA Championship include the varsity four, second varsity eight and first varsity eight races. The winner of the CAA title will earn an automatic berth into the NCAA Championship from May 26-28 in Pennsauken, N.J.

Wilhelm earned CAA Coach of the Year honors for a conference-best ninth time. Additionally, Helaina Howe, Tess Miller, Charlotte Kershaw and Abbie Keane all earned All-CAA honors.
