SAN DIEGO, Calif. - This Saturday at 6:30am your Toreros will host NCAA's 2007 5th Place Team, the USC Trojans on Mission Bay. San Diego State and UC San Diego will also be competing. In the scrimmage USD will be racing two Varsity 8s, a Varsity 4, and two Novice 8s. The Toreros are looking forward to a full day of racing.
Immediately following this event is the San Diego Row for the Cure.
The University of San Diego women's rowing team is excited to race in the Sixth Annual Row for the Cure on Mission Bay. The race schedule is as follows:
8:10am: Novice 8 & 2nd Novice 8
8:15am: Varsity 4

The Toreros are very much looking forward to the event, raising money for a great cause while competing with local crews.
The event, presented by the San Diego Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation was originally scheduled for Oct. 28, 2007 but due to poor air quality from the San Diego wildfires, the event was postponed.
Row for the Cure® regattas, hosted by local rowing clubs, are third-party fundraising events benefiting local affiliates of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Since the regatta's inception in 1994 on Portland's Willamette River, Row for the Cure® has expanded to 11 U.S. cities, raising more than $500,000 in the fight to eradicate breast cancer as a life threatening disease.
In the U.S., Portland, Seattle, Pullman (Wash.), Philadelphia, San Diego, Salt Lake City, Austin, Jacksonville, Grand Rapids, Dayton and Westerville (Ohio) host Row for the Cure® regattas, while Frankfurt, Germany, will host Europe's first Row for the Cure® this fall.
"People tell me that they enjoy doing a sport they love and supporting a great cause at the same time," said Row for the Cure® founder Kathy Frederick, a masters rower at Portland's Station L Rowing Club.
