Men's Crew wins 40th annual Dreissigaker Cup
Northeastern was in control of the race by the half way point, leading by a full length. The Huskies extended the lead to a length and a quarter at 1500 meters, eventually finishing with a time of 5:54.1 while Brown came in at 5:55.8.
Brown took the other two races, beating NU in the 2nd varsity 6:02.3 to 6:18.5 and in the freshman race 5:56.3 to 6:03.7.
With the win, the Huskies improve to 2-0 on the regatta season. Brown drops to 1-2. NU tied the all-time record with Brown at 20-20. The Huskies have now won the last three Dreissigaker Cups after Brown had taken the previous five from 1997-2001.
The varsity boat will look to make it three wins in a row when they take on Rutgers, a team it hasn't lost to since 1996, in the Congram Cup next Saturday, April 24 on the Charles River.
