Jan Berend stroked the Northeastern varsity eight crew to the open-water victory against Boston University as NU clocked its fastest time of the weekend (6:16.7). The Huskies – who defeated the Terriers on April 10 to claim the Arlett Cup – witnessed their margin of victory against BU grow from 5.4 seconds last month to 11 seconds on Sunday.
Like the varsity eight, Northeastern's second varsity eight boat (6:22.6) cruised to the open-water victory against the Terriers. Remy Newton sat in the stroke seat for the Huskies, who crossed the finish 16 seconds ahead of their rivals.
In a photo finish, Northeastern's third varsity eight crew (6:39.8) narrowly defeated BU at the line to complete the Huskies' sweep of the Terriers.
Karim Kane rowed from the stroke seat as NU overcame its single-seat deficit inside the final 400 meters to lead the Huskies to victory.
All crews faced increasing headwinds as races progressed through the morning.
