...both boats aimed to take the boats up to as high and steady a rating as possible under the conditions. Harvard, however, quickly set to work on opening up the early stalemate, and the Crimson began a steady walk on Northeastern shortly after the settle into the first 500 meters.

On Saturday in Annapolis, however, Harvard’s hopes at a repeat faded as its two varsity eights hit the final 500-meter mark. The Midshipmen varsity took...
