Harvard’s cumulative score placed it one point behind Hobart/William Smith for third place. Brown captured first place on its home water, while BC finished second.
Oberg Trophy Regatta
At Saturday’s Oberg Trophy Regatta, hosted by BC, the Crimson encountered difficulties which ultimately landed the team in seventh place.
Senior skipper Liam Mahoney and classmate Zoe Epstein guided Harvard’s ‘A’ boat to a seventh place finish within the division.
The duo posted two third-place finishes in the seven races, but a 12th-place result in the first race and a last-place finish in the penultimate race torpedoed its chances of victory.
In the ‘B’ division, senior skipper Sam Clark and sophomore crew Daphne Lyman placed in the top five on three occasions, once taking both first and second.
But a ninth, 10th and two 12th-place finishes significantly undermined their efforts and landed them in eighth place.
The team’s cumulative score ranked seventh out of 15 competing schools. Host BC took first, followed by Tufts and Dartmouth.
The Crimson returns to the water next weekend at the Schell Trophy Regatta, hosted by MIT, and the Women’s Victorian Coffee Urn, hosted by Harvard.
