Radcliffe turned on the power in the final 500 meters, and emerged as the victor in a close finish.
The Radcliffe varsity lightweight crew annihilated Dartmouth on the Big Green's own Connecticut River Saturday by an astounding 32-second margin.
The lights, rowing in two fours instead of an eight (Radcliffe A and B), faced Dartmouth's third varsity heavyweight four, but still managed to cruise to first and second place finishes with respective times of 7:07.6 and 7:30.7. Dartmouth (7:39.4) finished in third.
Radcliffe "A" was shaky at the start--the boat almost veered into Dartmouth's lane and disqualified itself from the race. The official straightened the paths of the two boats, however, and the lights moved out to take a commanding lead over Dartmouth.
The lights then took a power ten at 530 meters and a power 20 to 1000 meters, moves lightweight captain Allison Pugh called "particularly strong." The strategy helped Radcliffe capture its second race of the season and up its Eastern League record to 3-0.
