Rhode Island's Varsity 8+ boat won its 10th consecutive Resolute Cup as it beat Boston College and Boston University in a tightly contested race Saturday morning on the Charles River.
Racing in a strong cross tailwind reaching gusts on 18 miles per hour, Rhody's lineup of Alissa Margraf (cox), Lily Herberger, Dana Holland, Emmy Corace, Alicia Kelley, Marisa Landry, Kiana Anderson, Katie Shattuck and Leah McGlynn finished in a time of 6:42.6, edging BC by just 2.5 seconds. Boston University was a close third, finishing in 6:51.2.
Boston College held off Rhody in the Second Varsity 8+ race, posting a time of 6:57.4. Rhode Island finished in 7:02.7, four seconds ahead of Boston University.
With moderately choppy water causing white caps at times, the water conditions forced the Varsity 4+ race to be canceled.
