Due to a timing system malfunction, results were delayed for the race that concluded Sunday afternoon.
The Eagles saw their first win of the 2013-14 season as the novice 8+ team paced the field, finishing at 11:14.00, just one second ahead of the MSU C team.

Jeffrey helped the team to a fourth-place finish in her first of three races on the day with teammates Burdick, Doss, Knox, and freshman Samantha Allen (Pomona, N.J.-Absegami).
The varsity four team posted a season-best fifth place finish to conclude the Head of the Grand. The final boat, holding Gilmore, Kent, Anderson, Tollas and coxswain Pecault, grabbed a time of 12:11.00.
"They started to calm down and we are starting to close in on some top-10 programs in the country. Overall we were very pleased with what we saw today and are looking forward to the spring season," said Head Coach Brad Holdren.
Eastern will take a week break before heading to the Head of the Hooch on Saturday, Nov. 2 in Chattanooga, Tenn. The race will mark the fifth consecutive year that the Eagles have participated, its best finish coming in 2012 when the novice four team earned a second-place finish.
