Attempting to bounce back from a loss last weekend to defending national champions Brown, the women's heavyweight team journeyed to Lake Carnegie in Princeton to compete in the Class of '75 Cup versus the host Tigers and visiting Cornell squad.

Radcliffe's top two varsity squads were unable to come away with victories, with the first varsity boat coming in second to Princeton in the 2000-meter sprint at 6:44.48, just four seconds off the winning mark.

"The conditions were just about as good as we could ask for," senior captain Anne Browning said. "Yet the race was kind of a disappointment for us. We have the potential to beat [the Tigers], but this race didn't really show the speed of our boat."

The women's heavyweight team will have a chance for redemption next Saturday when it hosts Dartmouth and Syracuse, while the lightweight counterparts travel to Brown.

The men's heavyweights race against Princeton and MIT at home next weekend while the lightweights are idle.
