1. Women’s rowing captures Head of the Charles title<\/h3>\n

Guided by senior coxswain Hanna De Bruyn of Old Lyme, Conn., the Bates women’s varsity eight set a course record on Oct. 22 to win the women’s collegiate eights at the prestigious Head of the Charles Regatta.<\/p>\n

De Bruyn and her crew navigated the serpentine 4,800-meter course on the Charles River in 16:01.182, outpacing last year’s Head of the Charles winner Wesleyan by 16.863 seconds.<\/p>\n
