As the co-ed squad qualified through the New England Championships this past weekend, the women’s team competed in a tune-up race this past Saturday and Sunday in preparation for its regional competition next weekend, placing sixth among a field of 16 at the Women’s Wick & Shrew Trophies, hosted by the Coast Guard.

“We prepare all year for next weekend’s competition,” Powers said, “and this weekend’s results gave us some confidence heading into that regatta.”

A pair of sophomores provided the highlight for the women’s team, as skipper Emily Lambert and crew Alexandra Jumper finished second in the A division.

“Emily and Alex sailed really well,” Powers said. “It was their best score this season and was an impressive finish considering the great field we competed against this weekend.”

Powers was not as excited about her own results in the B division, as she skippered alongside sophomore crew Marie Appel to take home 10th in that division.

“Marie and I were a bit disappointed with the way we closed out the weekend,” the senior said.

71ST OBERG TROPHY

The Crimson finished ninth out of a field of 16 at the 71st Oberg Trophy held at Boston University this past weekend.

Junior skipper Colin Santangelo and freshman crew Alma Lafler finished fifth in the A division, while first-year skipper Jason Michas teamed up with senior crew Alexandra Perkins for six races and sophomore crew William White for two to finish ninth in the B division.

BRANDEIS INVITATIONAL, CENTRAL SERIES FOUR

The Crimson placed seventh out of eight teams at the 46th Gibb Trophy held at Tufts this past weekend. Freshmen Sam Millham and Nick Waldo skippered for Harvard, as sophomore Caroline Lourie and freshman Jin Zang took care of the crewing duties.
