HANOVER, N.H. — The Dartmouth sailing team took part in four regattas over the weekend, racking up multiple titles. The Big Green sailed in the New England Intercollegiate Sailing Association (NEISA) Women's and Open Singlehanded Championships, the Regis Trophy and Hatch Brown Trophy events.

Ben Sheppard claimed sixth in a field of 35 sailors at the NEISA Open Singlehanded Championship, hosted by Brown. The freshman finished in the top 10 in six of 11 races, winning the 10^th race of the event. Consistency led Sheppard to his strong finish, as he did not dip below 14^th in any race.

Sarah Young and Olivia Drulard represented Dartmouth at the NEISA Women's Singlehanded Championship. Young finished in the top five in all but two races, while Drulard finished first in race eight and second in race nine.

The Big Green earned a title at the Regis Trophy event, hosted by Harvard. Dartmouth outlasted 14 other programs to earn the championship. Taylor Eastman and Yumi Yoshiyasu led the Big Green to victory, earning first place in the "A" division.

Dartmouth earned another division win at the Hatch Brown regatta, which was hosted by MIT. Will Michels and Phoebe Lee took home a "C" division win, defeating 18 other teams on Sunday.

Up Next:
The Big Green return to the water next weekend for a trio of regattas. Dartmouth will sail in the Hoyt Trophy event, hosted by Brown, the Mrs. Hurst Bowl, hosted by Bowdoin and the Ross Trophy, hosted by Vermont.
