1st of 8

Joe Coyne, Rebekah Morrison; Benjamin Smith, Adelia DeRose; Daniel Hughes, Elizabeth Fortunato; Enzo Menditto, Margot Gordon, Vaughn Slatoff
Georgetown went 21-0 for an impressive day on the water. The Blue & Gray was a perfect 7-0 in all three rounds, defeating Delaware, Navy, Princeton, Stony Brook, St. Mary's, Virginia and Washington College.

Navy Women's Spring Fleet Race
7th of 18

The first day of the 2023 Navy Women's Fleet Race saw breezes from 255-360 degrees and 8-31 knots. Six races were completed in each division. Day two saw similar breeze strength, though the average was higher, but a much more stable northwest direction. Five races were able to be completed in each division before the cutoff time of 3 p.m.
The Hoyas finished seventh out of the full 18-team field with 80 points from the A boat and 88 from the B boat for a total of 168.

St. Mary's Team Race Inter-Conference
4th of 16

Mariner Fagan, Spencer Kriegstein; Mateo Di Blasi, Emily Panarella; Scott Mais, Diego Escobar, Caro Gaston, Eva Fortunato, Addi Harris
After a full day of team racing, the day ended with race 62 as the breeze died and race 63 was abandoned. Despite unstable conditions that required a good amount of course adjustment to keep racing fair, racing continued.
Sunday was a windy and cold day, and after race 79 the regatta management team faced the reality that the round of 16 could not be completed. As the field had been pre-seeded into two groups of eight, the top four from each group advanced to a gold (420) and bottom four to a silver (FJ) round along with a few sailoffs for trophy spots or MAISA ranking berths.
Group A: Harvard 7 Brown 6 Navy 4 UPenn 4 FRD 3 HWS 2 COR 2 KP 0
Group B: Yale 6 SMC 6 GTN 6 CofC 4 GW 2 ODU 2 NYM 0
Georgetown went 4-3 on the day defeating St. Mary's (1-2-3), Navy (1-2-5), Penn (1-2-5) and Charleston (1-2-4), but falling to Harvard (2-5-6), Yale (3-5-6) and Brown (4-5-6).

Up Next

The Hoyas will be back in action next weekend as the women travel to the Navy Women's Team Race, while the coed team competes at the Szambecki Team Race.
