NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Case Cup has been safely sitting in the trophy room at the Gilder Boathouse for six straight years. Yale will try to make sure it stays right there on Saturday when it races Radcliffe. Action on the Housatonic River gets under way at 8:30 a.m. Yale's heavyweight crew will be racing Princeton and Cornell as well.

The Bulldogs, ranked fourth in the nation, hope to rebound from a difficult day against Virginia and Princeton last Saturday. Yale's varsity eight and varsity four finished behind both the Tigers and Cavaliers, while the second varsity was second, behind Princeton.

Radcliffe, ranked 20th, had first-place finishes in both the second varsity and varsity four last weekend against Dartmouth and Syracuse. The Crimson's varsity eight came in seven seconds behind Dartmouth, but beat Syracuse.
