To open the day, UCLA's second varsity four group placed fifth in their heat in 7:51.546. They were followed 10 minutes later by the varsity four boat, who earned the first top-three finish of the day for UCLA, taking second in their race in 7:34.902.
The Bruin's second varsity eight crew earned UCLA's first win a few minutes later. The Bruins crossed the line in 6:40.980, finishing ahead of their next closer competitor, Minnesota, by over five seconds.
