Bloomington, Ind. - Michigan State swept its races on Friday afternoon at the Dale England Cup, competing against Boston University.
"We rowed well today, with poise," said head coach Matt Weise. "We will be looking for more of that tomorrow when we line up with Gonzaga and Indiana."
MSU's varsity eight had a 28-second margin over the Terriers in the varsity eight, while the second varsity was at nearly 18 seconds and the varsity four was nearly 11 seconds in front of the Terriers. The Spartans' novice eight had more than three boat lengths of open water between themselves and BU at the finish.
MSU emerged from the first day of competition with 40 points, tied with Indiana atop the leaderboard. Racing begins again tomorrow morning, as the Spartans get their first taste of Big Ten action when they line up with Indiana.
