PULLMAN, Wash. – Gonzaga, Oregon State, Loyola Marymount, and Seattle Pacific journeyed to Pullman to compete at Wawawai Landing on the Snake River Sunday, March 24. The regatta hosted by Gonzaga was originally scheduled to take place in Spokane but due to prolonged winter weather conditions was moved to Pullman.
 
"It turned out to be a fantastic day, I can't even remember a better race day from a weather standpoint… I think it was pretty much perfect conditions all day," said head coach Jane LaRiviere.
 
This meeting between OSU and WSU marks the battle for the Winchell Cup and the Crawford Plate. The Winchell Cup goes to the team who wins the dual while the Crawford Plate goes to the winner of the varsity eight. OSU swept both the Winchell Cup and Crawford Plate for the first time since 2009 with wins in the varsity eight, second varsity eight, and varsity four. The two teams tied for the plate in 2014. WSU and Gonzaga will compete for the Fawley Cup April 27 in Pullman.

 "I think everybody was really excited to race today... I think it was a good first effort and we got to run down the course with the other crews a second time, and even though it was unofficial we learned a lot in the second race too," said LaRiviere.

The varsity eights from WSU and OSU battled it out for the Crawford Plate in the second race of the day. OSU secured first place and the Crawford Plate with a time of 6:34.9.
