It was the first regatta of the year for the women, which also meant the first chance to see how Harvard would replace former A-division skipper Sloan Devlin ’05. The job was handled rather efficiently by the sophomore tandem of skipper Roberta Steele and crew Christina Cordeiro, who took first place in the division to guide the Crimson to its other top finish of the weekend.
