CAMBRIDGE -- Spurred by a fourth-place finish from their A Division dinghy, the Tufts University co-ed sailing team finished seventh at the 66th Erwin Schell Trophy hosted by MIT over the weekend. Among the opponents at the inter-sectional were out-of-region teams Charleston, Georgetown, Stanford, and Navy.

The Jumbos finished with a score of 327 after 20 races in each division, just two points behind sixth-place Brown and six behind fifth-place Vermont. The A Division was fourth among 20 teams with a 126 score. The B Division team was 10th with a 201 score.

Senior Tomas Hornos (Swampscott, MA) skippered the A boat with three different crews due to the windy conditions. They were senior Rachael Brill (Scottsdale, AZ) for races 1-4 and 13-20, freshman Max Bulger (Brookline, MA) for races 11-12, and senior Nate Rosenberg (St. Thomas, V.I.) in races 5-10. Hornos and Brill won the 16th race, while Tufts also had two runner-up placements in A Division.

Likewise in B Division, senior skipper Andrew Criezis (Evanston, IL) was paired with three crews. Regular teammate Jen Watkins (Edina, MN) was with him for races 1-2 and 12-20. Bulger worked races 3-10 and Rosenberg jumped in for the 11th race. A second-place effort by Criezis and Bulger was the top Tufts performance.

Yale won the Schell Trophy for the first time since 1976.

Tufts will sail in the Hap Moore Trophy regatta at Boston College next weekend.
