St. Mary's won the regatta with an overall record of 15-2, followed by Hobart/William Smith at 13-4 and Navy at 10-7. The Hoyas finished the weekend with a record of 8-9. St. Mary's, Hobart and Navy advanced to the ICSA Team Race National Championships in May.

Georgetown was in a tie for fifth after the first round robin with a record of 3-4, but improved in the second round robin format to go 5-2 and advance to the final four. However, in the final four, the Hoyas went 0-3 to take fourth place.

The Hoyas return to competition this weekend for the Arrigan Memorial Regatta, the Admirals Cup, the Moody Trophy, the Women's Dellenbaugh Intersectional and the North 2 Regatta.
