Northeastern won the 28th rowing of the Arlett Cup over the 2000-meter course of the Charles River. It was the Huskies fifth consecutive victory in the competition. NU finished the course in a record 5:43.7, breaking the previous mark of 5:47.7 also set by NU in 1996. BU checked in at 5:45.7.

The Huskies began the race with a two seat lead off the start. NU extended its margin to six seats by the 500-meter mark. By 1000-meters NU had a length on the Terriers, but at 1500 meters BU closed to three seats. The Huskies were able to hold off BU over the final 500 to win by a half length.
