Subject: SAILING TEAM SCORES BIG

This past weekend, Fordham's Coed Sailing team won the Greater New York Area Dinghy Championship and the Lady Rams placed 11th among the top 14 schools in our conference, the Middle Atlantic Intercollegiate Sailing Association, MAISA. We hosted the former event at Morris Yacht & Beach Club on City Island. At 9:30 AM Saturday, competition was postponed until Sunday as the wind was blowing 15 - 18 knots with gusts 20+, whitecaps filled Eastchester Bay, and the forecast was for 25 - 30 knots in the afternoon with gusts to 40 and potential thunderstorms. On Sunday, we had a steady 12 - 18 knot wind all day and got in 24 races. Nate Powell '06 & Katie Griffin '08 sailed A Division and placed second behind Kings Point. Alex Baum '08 & Cristina Puglia '07 raced B Division and was the low-point crew for the regatta. Results:
1. Fordham - 48 points
2. Kings Point - 59
3. NY Maritime - 72
4. Columbia - 113
5. Webb Institute - 114
6. Army - 130
7. Monmouth - 163
8. Stevens Institute - 166

The MAISA Women's Championship was hosted by Georgetown. Fordham was represented by Anne-Marie Martin '08 & Katie O'Malley '07 in A Division and Jennifer Brandes '08 & Jacky Monterosso '07 in B Division. In 22 races, our gals broke into the top 10 eleven times and scored as high as 5th in one race and 8th in two others so the potential for future improvement definitely exists. The top four teams qualified for the ICSA Women's National Championship. Results: 1. St. Mary's - 60; 2. Navy - 72; 3. Georgetown - 75; 4. Old Dominion - 85; 5. Hobart/William Smith - 121; 6. Washington C. - 157; 8. Loyola - 173; 9. Columbia - 181; 10. Kings Point - 197; 11. Fordham - 233; 12. Christopher Newport - 255; 13. Maryland - 259 & 14. Drexel - 263.
