CLEMSON, S.C. – The Duke rowing team capped its season with a seventh place overall finish at the ACC Championship on Saturday morning on Lake Hartwell. The Blue Devils raced in two Grand Finals, the V8 and 2V8, and claimed sixth in both.

Duke senior Claire Vannelli, a member of the V8, was named to the All-ACC second team. Vannelli, a 5-11 captain from London, Ontario, Canada, was a four-year member of Duke's V8. Earlier this spring, she was selected as a 2015 ACC Weaver-James-Corrigan Award postgraduate scholarship winner.

In a stacked field of nine teams, No. 3 Virginia claimed its sixth consecutive ACC Championship title, amassing 99 points. The Cavaliers have won 15 of the 16 ACC Rowing team titles. Notre Dame, ranked 19th, slipped past No. 16 Syracuse to finish second with 82 points while the Orange took third with 73 points. Louisville, participating in its first ACC rowing championship, placed fourth with 72 points. Duke placed seventh with 36 total points.

Duke took part in a trio of Petite Finals, starting with the 3V8, in which it took second in 7:10.8 to North Carolina (7:09.1). The time for the Blue Devils was nearly a 12-second improvement from their mark in Friday's heat.

The Blue Devils' 2V4 also finished second to the Tar Heels in the Petite Final as Duke clocked out in 7:59.0 and UNC in 7:55.0. Duke's third Petite Final appearance was from the varsity four, which placed second in 7:53.8, ahead of Miami (8:24.2) and behind North Carolina (7:44.5).

The Blue Devils' two Grand Final races were turned in by the 2V8 and V8, which both took sixth. In the 2V8, Duke finished in 6:44.9 while the V8 clocked out in 6:45.9.
