BU then opened its spring slate on the Charles River against No. 22 Dartmouth, MIT and Northeastern.

BU's Varsity 8+, coxed by Audrey Lucerne and stroked by Sotiria Angou, finished second only behind the Big Green.
 
BU's championship squad made its way to the Lake Wheeler Invite, where it generated 48 team points over two days, good for sixth. Out of the 18 schools at the regatta, BU only finished behind Virginia, Duke, Columbia, Clemson and North Carolina. The Terriers battled to close finishes with the top six schools with the Eights and Second Varsity 4+ finishing third in their final races.
 
At Eastern Sprints, the Varsity 8+ won the Petite Final with the fifth-fastest overall time in the field. Lucerne coxed the boat and Angou sat stroke seat to lead BU to a 7:01.958 finish.

BU's Third Varsity 8+ and Third Varsity 4+ also won their respective Petite Finals while the Varsity 4+ finished sixth in the Grand Final.
 
BU dominated at the Patriot League Championship, finishing first in three out of the four races. The Varsity 8+ was named the Patriot League Boat of the Year for the second year in a row after it finished over six seconds ahead of the second place boat from MIT. The Varsity 4+ built a four-second lead to win its race while the Second Varsity 4+ had the biggest lead of the day, finishing over 23 seconds ahead of its competition. The Terriers collected 289.5 points to secure the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Championships. Director of women's rowing Malcolm Doldron also repeated as Patriot League Coach of the Year.
