Princeton pulled into first place at Sprints, followed by Harvard and a strong Northeastern crew that won third.
Harvard also defeated Northeastern in its dual race this season, avenging its loss to the Huskies in the Head of the Charles and finishing its season undefeated on home water.
The Harvard freshman stood out with first place finishes for both the first and second boats, giving Harvard the last of its nation-leading 54 Eastern titles.
