Sailors of the Week, Weekend 9, Fall 2014


Rios, Ferraris, Palfrey & Bove are NEISA's COED SAILORS OF THE WEEK

Burlington, VT - Nov 6, 2014 - Boston College's Raul Rios and crews Allison Ferraris, Alex Palfrey, and Domenic Bove won A-division at the Schell Trophy and are NEISA's Coed Sailors of the Week.  Rios and crews sailed fought back from an OCS on day one, their only finish outside the top seven, to win the hard-fought division.  Scoring just six points in Sunday's four windy races, including three first place finishes, allowed the team from BC to climb to the top of the A-division leaderboard and helped Boston College claim the overall victory.
