LAKE RIDGE, Virginia -- The Gonzaga men's rowing team wrapped up competition at the Occoquan Invitational on Sunday afternoon.

"Both boats raced two hard races," head coach Dan Gehn said. "I loved the competition we got today and it helped us with one more piece of our race puzzle. Also want to thank the Naval Academy Rowing program for the great hospitality they provided!"

In the first heat of races, GU's Varsity Eight boat took second with a time of 6:06.34 against Holy Cross and Hobart. In the 2V8 race, the Zags finished in 6:05.48 and placed second among Holy Cross and Hobart.
