The Eagles in the winning boat were Nicole LeFrancois, Elizabeth Keyser, Kimberly Marakovits, Anna Dehen, Jaclyn Davison, Aimee Wessel, Heather Schofield, Liz Orofino, and Ann Reilly.
Boston College's next best finish came in the varsity fours with coxswain. The Eagles had two entries, finishing fifth and 28th out of 40 entries. The boat that placed fifth finished in 15 minutes 24.2 seconds, beating "A" boats from BU, Cornell, UMass, MIT, UNH, and Army.
The novice program had a strong showing as well. Boston College entered four boats in the novice eight race, garnering two top 15 finishes.
