On the West Coast, Stanford sailing claimed the Pacific Coast Conference championship, and on the East Coast, the Cardinal finished fifth at the Match Race National Championships over the weekend.

Stanford's Romain Screve, Elena VandenBerg and Jack Parkin went 7-2 during the round robin competition at the Match Race national championships in South Carolina.

That earned the Cardinal the No. 2 seed entering the quarterfinals as only host Charleston was better (10-0).

Stanford won the first race of its quarterfinal against Boston College, but dropped three of the next four to fall out of competition for the Cornelluis Shields Sr. Trophy.

Screve, VandenBerg and Parkin rebounded to defeat Georgetown and Navy to finish fifth among the 10 schools.
