Lightweights are the only victors at weekend races

|

The Big Green crews fell short in all but two races this weekend as the JV lightweight eight and the freshmen lightweight eight took home Dartmouth's only victories on Saturday. While the women's crews and the lightweights struggled on their respective roadtrips to Princeton, NJ and Ithaca, NY, the heavyweights went head-to-head against the perennial powerhouse crews from Brown on the home course on the Connecticut River. In a four-way regatta against host Princeton, Penn and Virginia, the women's varsity line-up trailed the Tigers by seven seconds to take third while the Lady Cavaliers took top-honors in 6:57.7.
