SPOKANE, Wash. -- The Gonzaga women's rowing team swept Seattle University on its final home race at Silver Lake as all races ended with a Gonzaga boat in first place.

Andrew Derrick said. "I think they raced incredibly hard and showed the dedication and work they have put in this season to make our program so competitive! Super proud of our 4th, 5th, and 6th Eights today!"
