At the start of the race, the Radcliffe women jumped out to a quick four-seat lead, and the Black-and-White surged away from the Terriers at the 800-meter mark. Radcliffe had extended its lead over the Terriers to almost three lengths by the end of the race.
In the second varsity race, the Radcliffe women again dominated the competition, winning with a time of 6:37.6 and edging out B.U., which finished in 6:47.5.
In the novice contest, the Terriers defeated the Black-and-White by finishing in 6:37.0.
Radcliffe's next challenge will come at the Eastern Sprints Championships next Saturday, which will occur on Lake Waramaug in New Preston, Conn.
"We're really excited about the Sprints next weekend because we've been doing so well," Guerette said.
If the Radcliffe women perform well at the Eastern Sprints, they should be in line for an NCAA bid and ready to compete for the NCAA Championships, which will be held on Camden's Cooper River May 26-28.
The Radcliffe lightweights raced Brown and MIT on the Charles on Saturday as well, but to less success.
Brown edged the Black-and-White out 6:46.8 to 6:51.6.
