According to Saint Joseph's University, Methacton High School grad Brittany Roth has been named to the 2013 Atlantic 10 All-Conference Women's Rowing First Team. The team was nominated by the league's head rowing coaches and selected based on championship finish.

She helped SJU to second place in the 2013 Jesuit Invitational and a third-place finish in the Kelly Cup. Roth also served as the Hawks' team co-captain for the second straight year.

As a senior, Roth earned a silver medal in the Quad at the 2012 Atlantic 10 Championships and helped the Varsity 8 place second in the Kelly Cup. During her career, she has earned two medals in the Aberdeen Dad Vail Regatta, including a gold medal in the Second Varsity 8 in 2011.
