...Roger Williams University. Sophomore skipper Megan Watson and senior crew Emily Simon replicated their feat in the B-division, also scoring 42 points and finishing second behind Yale. “We didn’t get a lot of races in because of the weather,” Watson said. “That meant we had to be more consistent. Our crews did a really good job with the tricky wind. When it’s really shifty, they always have to be on their toes adjusting.” The men’s team fared less...
...licensed guides, these trips depart every weekend morning throughout the season at 9.30 a.m., regardless of weather (don't fret about the cold, because you'll be bundled into an insulated and waterproof survival suit). Prices for the two-hour excursion start from $110, and the payoff is breathtaking: flying at speeds of up to 50 kph, with wing spans as wide as 2.4 m, the eagles skim the water and make their kills with astonishing precision before gliding back to the towering treetops or mountains behind. What's more, all this takes place just an hour's drive from...

The only complete results from yesterday morning belonged to the tournament semifinalists. No. 5 Columbia upset the top-ranked Brown Bears to make it to the finals, where the Lions will face...
...constant rain, the twelve-team field suffered a nearly three-stroke hit to its scoring average. That was little consolation to the Crimson, as its score ballooned 14 strokes from an already disappointing 305 to 319. Said team captain Tom Hegge, “Part of it was the weather, but I think we all had a bad day as well. It affects everyone equally, so you can’t let it be an excuse.” In the second round, only two of the Crimson’s five players managed to break 80, while Brendan...
