...when the Crimson became the first and only No. 16 seed to beat a top-seeded team in the Big Dance. Harvard and Delaney-Smith didn’t have the same luck in the 2007 tournament, but the No. 15 seed Crimson hung with the defending national champion Terrapins in the first half. It couldn’t keep pace with Maryland’s five returning starters down the stretch, however, in an 89-65 loss. A disappointment, sure.

...captain Jennifer Chung said. “Last year, it was Georgetown, and they came out of nowhere to take second place.” And the victory was all the more shocking considering who Bucknell beat—a powerhouse Tigers crew, the two-time national champion Badgers, and a Radcliffe crew, which had medaled at IRAs six years running. Things appeared promising for the Black and White when racing began on Friday. The crew beat out Sprints champion and No. 1 seed Wisconsin to win its semifinal heat with a time of 6:43.50.
