OAK RIDGE, Tenn.- No. 2 Stanford dominated its spring racing opener, sweeping No. 3 Tennessee on Melton Hill Lake on Saturday morning.
In a matchup between last year’s national runner-up and third-place finisher, Stanford set the tone early in the second varsity four race, winning by seven seconds over Tennessee’s second varsity four and by 11 seconds over the Lady Vols’ third varsity four.
The Cardinal continued its success in the varsity four race, clocking in at 7:14.87 to Tennessee’s 7:17.93.
Stanford's second varsity eight extended the winning streak with a four-second margin of victory before the varsity eight closed out the morning with the largest win of the day, crossing the finish line more than nine seconds ahead of Tennessee.
The Cardinal next races on the friendly waters of Redwood Shores, welcoming ACC opponents No. 11 Syracuse and No. 13 Virginia to the Bay Area for racing on April 12-13.
