The Bulls had the distinction of being the only crew from the East in Sunday's final. The race started with 21 crews and the Bulls finished third behind two boats from California. UB also finished ahead of Sacramento State, the boat that finished ahead of the Bulls in Saturday's heat. San Diego State and Kansas State also finished behind UB in the race.

The Bulls are back in action this upcoming weekend as the full crew heads to the Knecht Cup in Camden, New Jersey.
