QUOTING HEAD COACH EMILY FORD: “We want to go out and put our best foot forward. We didn’t race in the fall, so we’ve been preparing and training a lot and all that’s left is to perform on race day.”
“Gonzaga always has a good team and I expect them to be good this Sunday, so performing well will be a must to come out on top.”
LAST YEAR AGAINST GONZAGA: The Beavers and Zags met twice in 2014 opening the season at Dexter Lake where OSU’s top First, Second and Third Varsity 8’s all claimed victory, while Gonzaga’s First and Second Varsity 4’s came out on top. The two squads met again at the Clemson Invitational once again with mixed results. The V8 and V4+ crews each split a pair of races while OSU’s 2V8 won twice.
