Tacoma, Wash. – The No. 19 Oregon State men's rowing team put forth a great effort, Saturday afternoon in a tough dual with No. 1 California.

"The Varsity 8 raced hard," head coach Gabe Winkler said. "It was a fantastic piece and the guys rose to the challenge of racing the top crew in the country."

The Beavers' Varsity 8 highlighted the afternoon fighting the Golden Bears throughout the 2,000-meter course on American Lake to the finish second by just five seconds, recording a time of 5-minutes, 45.91-seconds to the Golden Bears 5:40.82.

"The Second Varsity clipped a few buoys but still had a solid run. It was some solid work by these guys. This will make Pac-12's interesting in three weeks."

In the Second Varsity 8, Oregon State turned in a time of 5:49.96 to finish second to the Bears.

The Beavers' Third Varsity 8, consisting of Miles Moran, Dennis Nikolov, Jacob Hart, Alex Carlton, Max Hayes, Henry Hebson, Zach Fried, and Torin Kingshill, and Coxswain Ercoli Crugnale, powered through the course in 5:54.11 to Cal's 5:45.68.
