The Terrier varsity eight crossed the finish line in 7:18.2, besting Syracuse's time of 7:23.2. The eight also defeated the University of Buffalo, who raced in a time of 7:37.8.
The second varsity eight also claimed a victory Saturday morning, defeating the Orangewomen by eight and a half seconds. BU's varsity fours placed second in its race, while the novice eights finished third.
