HANOVER, N.H. – The No. 9 lightweight rowing team hosted its first of five consecutive races on the Connecticut River, taking on MIT and No. 5 Harvard in pursuit of the Biglin Bowl on a beautiful Saturday in Hanover.

The Big Green were faced with good conditions and a very light tailwind that was consistent for all four races.

Dartmouth placed third in the third varsity 8+ (6:05.9), finishing behind Harvard's fourth varsity (5:53.6) and third varsity (5:48.2).

In the remaining two races, the Green finished sandwiched between the Crimson and the Engineers. In the second varsity, Dartmouth (5:54.3) left over seven seconds between it and MIT (6:01.6) and came in behind Harvard (5:41.9). With the Biglin Bowl on the line in the last event of the day, the first varsity, the Big Green (5:40.0) completed the course less than two seconds behind the Crimson (5:38.3). The Engineers were third (5:49.1).

On Sunday, Dartmouth will host Mercyhurst at 9 a.m. Spectators are reminded that they must park at Dartmouth's Rugby Clubhouse (9 Reservoir Road, Hanover, N.H.) and ride the shuttle to the race viewing area. Neither parking nor drop-off is not permitted at the viewing area.
