EUGENE, Ore. (Apr. 14) ­ Seattle Pacific University pulled out victories in three categories, including both the women's varsity eight and four races, Saturday at the Covered Bridge Regatta on Dexter Lake.

In a steady rain on a relatively smooth surface, the Falcons earned their second win of the year against their West Region rivals, Humboldt State, in the women's eight. Their wining time of 7 minutes, 7 seconds was good for a one-seat margin over the runner-up Lumberjacks.

In the varsity four, SPU was an easy winner over Portland, and the men's lightweight four took the title in the junior varsity four category.

Elsewhere, the men's four varsity four, missing one of its regular rowers, was a close second to Lewis & Clark, and the women's novice four was just behind Humboldt.

Next Saturday the Falcons compete for NCRC championships at Lake Stevens.
