PROVIDENCE, R.I. – No. 10 Dartmouth heavyweight rowing raced against No. 6 Brown for the Atalanta Cup on the Seekonk River on Saturday. The Bears won all four races to retain the cup.

The first two races of the morning featured thrilling finishes, starting with the fourth varsity, as Dartmouth held an early one-seat lead after 500 meters. The Big Green pulled out to about three seats at the midway point, before the Bears pulled back into contention down the stretch and moved out in front at the end to win by 1.4 seconds.

In the third varsity race with an increased tailwind, the two boats were even at 500 meters before Dartmouth quickly pulled out by three seats 200 meters later, and then five seats by the 1,000-meter mark. The Bears pulled within one seat during the final 300 meters, before winning by half a second.

In the second varsity, Brown and Dartmouth crossed the 500 mark at neck-and-neck, but the Bears moved out in front. Brown maintained a steady lead during the next 500 meters before moving a deck up for the win at 5:30.6 and were followed by the Green less than six seconds later (5:36.5).

The two teams closed out the morning with the varsity 8. Brown completed the event in first (5:23.9), while Dartmouth followed soon after (5:32.7).

On Sunday, the Big Green will host Syracuse at 9:30 a.m.
