ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – The College of Charleston women's sailing team won the SAISA Women's Fall Dinghy Championship with a 24-point victory over USF, while freshman Kelly-Ann Arrindell (Port-of-Spain, Trinidad) and sophomore Kelly Cole advanced to ICSA Women's Singlehanded Nationals with a 1-2 finish at the SAISA Women's Singlehanded Championship.
The Cougars dominated the competition and led both days of racing at the fall dinghy regatta to qualify for the Women's ACC's to be held on Nov. 12-13 in Charleston.
Freshman Alie Toppa skippered A-Division to a first-place finish with 11 points with sophomore crew Annabel Carrington (White Stone, Va.), while senior skipper Nikki Medley and senior crew Irene Abascal (Guatemala City, Guatemala) sailed in B-Division and were third with 32 points.
In the singlehanded lasers, Arrindell, the first female sailor from Trinidad and Tobago to compete in the Pan-American Games in 2015, finished the regatta with a low nine points, while Cole was runner-up (10 points).
Over at the Danmark Trophy hosted by the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, the Cougars saw difficult conditions and placed 10th out of 20 teams in New London, Conn.
In A-Division, junior Stefano Peschiera (Lima, Peru) and junior crew Grace McCarthy (San Diego, Calif.) finished fifth in a head-to-head tiebreaker with Stanford (126 points), while junior skipper Christophe Killian (Newport Beach, Calif.) and junior crew Clare Dahl (Newport Beach, Calif.) placed 14th in B-Division.
Next weekend, the Cougars will travel to the Navy Fall Women's regatta hosted by the U.S. Naval Academy on Oct. 8-9 in Annapolis, Md., North Points #4 hosted by UNCW on Oct. 8 in Wilmington, N.C., and the Larchmont Offshore Invite on Oct. 7-9 in Larchmont, N.Y.
