Charles River

Northeastern’s men’s crew won its sixth consecutive Arlett Cup, defeating Boston University by one length over the 2,000 meter course on the Charles River.

BU had a slight lead at the settle and slipped away to a one-length lead after 500 meters. At 1,000 meters BU still had a seven-seat lead, but the final 1,000 was all NU. At 1,500 the Huskies had closed the margin to two-seats. At 1,600 they caught the Terriers and then sprinted away to a 3.9 second victory. The final times were NU 6:03.4; BU 6:07.3.

The win left NU leading the Arlett Cup, 22-7, and the BU series, 37-10. NU completed the sweep of BU, with the freshman and second varsity also winning their races.

Next weekend, the Huskies will entertain Brown University on the Charles.
