LONG BEACH, Calif. – The College of Charleston sailing team finished 11 points behind Georgetown University at the 2017 Rose Bowl Regatta Sunday, as the Cougars amassed 35 points to beat out 28-of-29 of the top teams in the nation at the U.S. Sailing Center.

Georgetown claimed first place with 24 points through six races across two divisions, while Charleston and Santa Barbara City finished in a tie for second place with 35 points each. Eckerd and Cornell rounded out the top five with 37 and 40 points, respectively.

Freshman skipper Steven Leuck (San Diego, Calif.) and junior crew Grace McCarthy (San Diego, Calif.) totaled 15 points in A-Division – the second lowest total behind Georgetown in the division's three races.
