COLTON, Wash. (April 11, 2026) – Washington State women's rowing completed competition at the Fawley Cup, Saturday morning. The Cougs finished the day with a pair of dominant wins in both the 2V8 and the 3V8, finishing ahead of Gonzaga.

"Great job by Gonzaga today," said Head Coach Jane LaRiviere. "It was a fantastic race in the 1V and we came out slightly on the wrong end. I think we learned a lot and we're really looking forward to getting down to Sacramento and racing in the Big 10 next weekend."

WSU had a similar finish in the 1V4 with the team finishing second in 8:09.51 right behind Gonzaga's 8:07.15.

Cougs took first in their 2V8 shell in a time of 7:12.87, out-rowing Gonzaga's 7:25.87 time. Washington State's boat led for most of the race and ended up roughly 13 seconds ahead of Gonzaga.

Wazzu also won the 3V8, placing first in a time of 7:35.83, over 13 seconds ahead of Gonzaga's 7:48.96.

WSU placed second in the 2V4 finishing with a 8:31.24 time behind Gonzaga's 8:16.10.

The day concluded with the Cougars finishing second in the 4V8 in 8:20.62 behind Gonzaga's 7:50.15.
