Big Green Women's Rowing Fares Well Against Yale and BU

DERBY, Conn. – Dartmouth women’s rowing competed in the Yale Class of 1985 Cup against the host Bulldogs and Boston University on the Housatonic River on a clear, cold Saturday morning. The Big Green placed second in four of the races and won the last event of the day, the second Varsity 4+.

The third Varsity 8+ was the first race of the day. Yale moved away steadily, while Dartmouth (7:13.1) was able to drop BU and finish open water ahead of the Terriers (7:24.4), with Yale taking first (6:40.3)

The Bulldogs Varsity 8+ retained the Yale Class of 1985 Cup by completing the event in first place (6:34.2). A strong and well-executed first 1,000 kept the Green (6:52.9) hot on the Eli’s heels, but then faltered a bit in the second half. Dartmouth managed to stay ahead of a charging BU (6:57.9), who finished in third.

In the Varsity 4+, the closest race of the day, the Green (6:50.9) put up a good fight despite finished about four and a half lengths behind Yale (7:05.6), yet a whopping 48 seconds ahead of BU (7:53.4). The second Varsity finished in a similar fashion, with the Bulldogs placing first (6:29.2), followed by the Big Green (6:50.9) and then the Terriers (6:55.3). 

In the final race of the day, Yale was excluded for missing two of the turn buoys in the second Varsity 4+, resulting in Dartmouth (7:54.0) placing first and BU finishing well behind in second (8:33.5).

On Sunday, April 17, the Big Green will head to Boston to face Northeastern, BU and UMass.
