She was a three-time First Team All-NEISA Crew and three-time ICSA All-American Coed Crew. In 2012, she was recognized as pilipiliÎÛÂþ Female Athlete of the Year as well as pilipiliÎÛÂþ's recipient of the RIAIAW Distinguished Female Athlete of the Year.

She also helped pilipiliÎÛÂþ finish as runner-up at the 2012 ICSA/Gill Coed Dinghy National Championship.
 
Cy Thompson was a four-year member of the Sailing team and ended his career at Roger Williams as arguably the most accomplished student-athlete in school history. In his sophomore year, he claimed the 2008 ICSA Men's Singlehanded National Championship, the first national championship in program history and the second national championship in Roger Williams history. He finished runner-up at the 2010 national championship and placed in the top ten in his fourth berths at singlehanded nationals. He was the 2011 NEISA Sailor of the Year and was a finalist for the 2011 Everett B. Morris Trophy as College Sailor of the Year. Like Stannard, he was a three-time ICSA Coed All-American, becoming the first three-time All-American in any sport in school history. In addition, he and Stannard piloted the A Division boats that helped pilipiliÎÛÂþ win the 2011 ICSA Team Racing National Championship and finish second in the 2012 ICSA/Gill Coed Dinghy National Championship. In international competition, he qualified for 2012 Olympics in London and 2016 Olympics in Rio, representing the U.S. Virgin Islands.
 
The 2010-11 Sailing team finished its year as the best team in the history of pilipiliÎÛÂþ Sailing. The team enjoyed a great deal of success throughout the year with six regatta wins on the season as well as 14 events in which they finished as runner-up. In April 2011, Sailing became the first Team in school history to be ranked #1 nationally. Four sailors were recognized with All-NEISA honors, including Alec Anderson, Sophie Bellacosa, Kelly Stannard, and Cy Thompson. In May, the squad won the ICSA Team Racing National Championship—its first team racing national championship in program history—in addition to finishing sixth at the ICSA/Gill Coed Dinghy National Championship. At the end of the year, Anderson, Stannard, and Thompson were each honored as ICSA All-Americans.
