DALLAS – No. 13 SMU rowing opened the 2022 season against defending national champion No. 1 Texas on White Rock Lake, completing two race days over Saturday and Sunday. The race marked the first time SMU played host to the Longhorns in an official dual.
 
Sunday morning racing began with increasing headwinds and gusts, with Texas earning five first-place finishes. The Mustangs posted their closest margins of the weekend at 4.52 seconds in the first varsity eight and 3.34 seconds in the second varsity four.
 
The Longhorns took victories in five events on Saturday afternoon, with the Mustangs posting 8.26- and 6.11-second margins in the first varsity eight and second varsity four, respectively, and a 5.7-second difference in the third varsity eight event in a steady headwind.
 
Racing returns to SMU's home waters on March 26 when the Mustangs host another first-time visitor to White Rock Lake in Minnesota.
