V8 Crew Wins Gummy Bear Bowl in Season Opener Against BU
March 25, 2023 | Rowing
BOSTON – The Eagles opened their spring season on familiar waters, going 1-3 in head-to-head action against Boston University on the Charles River this Saturday, Mar. 25.Â
BC's 1V boat featuring Ella Bruno, Phoebe DeVlieger, Lauren Bauer, Lucy Barratt, Lauren Meath, Alexandra Bocek, Rebecca Butler, Carly Griffin, and Peyton Smith secured the Eagles first victory of the new season to claim the Gummy Bear Bowl trophy (6:42.6). BU's 1V finished shortly after, posting a time of 6:47.0.
The V4 race took place next in a tightly contested affair. Boston College's 1V4 found their stride in the last stretch of the race - finding themselves in a neck-and-neck battle with the finish line closing in. The Eagles final push ultimately fell just short, finishing 2.6 seconds behind BU for a time of 7:57.7.
The Terriers claimed victory in the opening 2V race (6:59.8) and closed the morning matchup with a 3V win (7:22.1). However, the small time margins in tough conditions are a promising sign for Boston College moving forward.
