DEXTER LAKE, Ore. - The No. 14 Oregon State women's rowing team swept the competition on Saturday during the Dexter Lake Invite. All four of the Beaver boats finished in first over Gonzaga, Loyola Marymount, Portland and San Diego.
While the conditions were challenging with a 6-8 mph crosswind and rolling chop, the sun was out and the Beavs had a great day of competition in all events.
The Beavers began the morning with a first-place finish in the 2V4 race with a 7:52.2 time. OSU's first varsity four had a great start to their race and were leading by two lengths at the 700 meter mark when they caught a boat stopping crab that inhibited them from rowing for up to 18 seconds.
