BRONX, N.Y. – The Roger Williams University sailing team competed at the Women's Atlantic Coast Dinghy Tournament hosted by SUNY Maritime this past weekend, placing fourth in the field of 18 teams.
 
Representing the Hawks, Claire Siegel-Wilson (Portland, Ore.) and Julia O'Connor (Foxboro, Mass.) scored 61 points, placing third in Division A. After a 10^th place finish in their first race, fourth in two of the next three races.  An 11^th place finish by the duo, was their lowest finish of the tournament, as they finished seventh or higher in the remaining six races, including a first-place finish in their seventh outing.
 
Caylin Schnoor (San Diego, Calif.) and Maren Matthews (Harbor Springs, Mich.) were the Division B pairing for Roger Williams closing the event in seventh place in the division. They finished their opening race in 11^th, before turning around for a third-place run. After stumbling out to a 12^th place finish in race number three, the Hawks finished in sixth and fifth, before winning back-to-back races. The Hawks pairing finished with 76 points, level with Wisconsin, but moved ahead on a head-to-head tiebreaker.
 
The 137 total points landed Roger Williams three points behind third place George Washington, but 29 points behind Jacksonville.
 
Meanwhile back in Bristol, Roger Williams welcomed back their alumni for their annual Captains Cup.
