It was a year full of accolades for Donovan, who was a First Team All-Conference selection and an Atlantic 10 Academic All-Conference team selection for the second year in a row.

UMass was coming off of a strong performance at the Dad Vail regatta, where the Lightweight 8 won its final race and the Pair took third in their final race.
