The team said that the performance did not meet its expectations, as it had hoped to finish as one of the top two New England-area teams in order to qualify for the Atlantic Coast Championships on Nov. 13.
"We had wanted to do better," said Toretta '00, captain of the women's team. "We needed to finish a couple spots higher to qualify."
Meanwhile, in the B Division, freshman skipper Clemmie Everett teamed with classmate Sarah Jessop. The twosome said it also failed to place as well as it had hoped going into the weekend.
"We were pretty inconsistent," Everett said. "Our boat-handling improved, but we made some mistakes that we shouldn't have made."
The Crimson will get another shot at qualifying for the Atlantic Coast Championships next weekend, when it competes at home for the Victorian Urn Trophy. Toretta, for one, said she remains optimistic about the team's chances.
"We stand a very good chance of qualifying," she said. "We'll have home-court advantage. Plus, we will be trying some new combinations with some different people sailing for us."
