PULLMAN, Wash. – The Oregon State women's rowing team recorded four first place finishes over No. 15 Washington State and Gonzaga Sunday morning.

Sunday's regatta was originally scheduled to take place in Spokane, but due to frozen lakes the event was moved to Washington State's home course at Wawawai Landing on the Snake River.

"Every single boat raced aggressively today," head coach Kate Maxim said. "The team came off a tough week of final exams and rallied together to make sure we took full advantage of a great racing opportunity. We have a lot to work on in the weeks ahead and are looking forward to getting back to work this week."

OSU's Varsity 8 churned across the 2,000-meter course with a time of 6-minutes, 34.9-seconds. The V8 crew, which includes Alina Hagstrom, Eliza Adams, Mimi Ballinger, Scout Sutton, Katie Descheemaeker, Holly Golightly, Jane Smeins and Hannah Robinson and coxed by Bailey Daniels, recorded the day's fastest time to earn the 7.4-second win over WSU which finished 14 seconds ahead of Gonzaga.

The Beavers' Second Varsity 8 held off the Zags in the closest race of the day winning 6:52.7-6:57.1. The Cougars finished third (7:00.2) and Loyola Marymount completed the course in 7:08.1.

Oregon State's Varsity 4+, consisting of Becca Pritchard, Amelia Sabin, Claire Williams and Liz Matzdorf and directed by AnnaRuth Neville, produced a win of nearly 10 seconds, turning in a time of 7:26.0 to the Cougars' 7:35.7.

The Second Varsity 4+ race was OSU's other win on Sunday. The Beavers' crew of Taylor Pereira, Natalie Tercek, Anna Schulhoff and Mackenzie Rice and coxed by Jean Cook, posted the largest win of the day finishing with a time of 7:36.1. Washington State came in at 7:57.6 while Gonzaga took 8:20.6

OSU's Novice 8 raced hard before coming up just short finishing with a time of 7:08.8, six seconds behind WSU. Gonzaga finished third (7:52.2).

In the Third Varsity 8, the Beavers recorded a time of 7:13.2 to finish second to the Cougars (7:02.6) but ahead of Seattle Pacific (7:26.3).

OSU is back on the water April 6 at the Covered Bridge Regatta held on the Beavers' home course at Dexter Reservoir.
