The Bulldogs achieved this feat with a remarkable 15-2 record at the ICSA Women's Team Race National Championships, finishing just behind Stanford, who had a 16-1 record and secured its second consecutive national title.

The championship regatta took place under challenging windy conditions in Providence, ultimately leading to Yale's advancement to the final stages where they defeated Harvard before the races were halted due to light winds.
