Facility
The team practiced at Lake of the Woods until the fall of 2007 when it relocated to the Rappahannock River. After flooding of the river washed out a dock, the program began rowing at Aquia Creek in Stafford, Virginia.
Status of the team
In August 2007 the University's administration declared that the program would be recommended for long-term suspension. The team was successfully reinstated through the efforts of alumni, current rowers, and the University as a whole. However, in the spring of 2014, it was announced that the team would be losing its varsity status and would be transitioning to a club program pending student interest.
