Princeton improved to 6-0, finishing the 2,000 meters in 6:45.7, an open water victory over both the hosts (6:51.8) and Cornell (6:57.8).
The Tigers competed in five races Saturday and won three of them. In a close frosh/novice eights competition, the Tiger boat crossed the line in 7:03.5, just one second ahead of Cornell. In a second novice four race, neither Cornell nor Radcliffe was a match for a Princeton boat that won by more than 20 seconds in 8:11.1
Princeton's second varsity eight and varsity four each finished a close second behind host Radcliffe.
The Tigers will host Yale and Tennessee on Lake Carnegie next weekend.
