ST. MARY’S WOMEN’S INTERSECTIONAL

The 13th-ranked Harvard women’s squad competed at the St. Mary’s Women’s Intersectional a week after the co-ed squad captured a third-place finish at the team race at the St. Mary’s Team Race. But the women’s contingent couldn’t repeat its performance from a week prior, and matched the co-ed team with a ninth-place finish.

Sailors from Yale took home top honors.

“We had some ups and downs as a team this past weekend,” Lambert said. “Sunday was full of tricky sailing, and we struggled a bit, but we pulled through.”

The A-division of racing saw the Crimson send out Lambert and fellow junior Alexandra Jumper, a duo that once again proved to be a dominant force on the water. The two finished in the top seven in 13-of-14 races, with three first-place finishes, and they earned first-place overall in the A-division.

The freshman trio of Morgan Russom, Isabel Ruane, and Caitlin Watson took home 14th out of the field of 18 with a score of 163, sailing against some of the toughest competition that the squad has faced yet this season.

“The team, especially the freshmen, gained a lot of experience sailing at this last regatta,” Lambert said. “The conditions weren’t all that great, and we were using fluky boats that we haven’t sailed in since last season. They have a ton of potential, and it will show as the season goes on.”
