After a three-year drought, the Quakers beat George Washington Saturday on the Potomac River and took back the McCausland Cup.
The Varsity Eight cruised to a seven-second victory on the 2,000-meter course with a time of 5:40.3.
Penn also took the second Varsity Eights and second Freshman Eights, falling only in the first Freshman Eights by just 0.8 seconds.
In the second Varsity Eights, both of Penn’s competing boats finished before George Washington.
This article has been updated from its original version to correct the subheadline, which mentioned George Mason instead of George Washington, and to correctly identify the Freshman Eight boats.
