SEATTLE, Wash. --- The Portland Pilots women's rowing team spent last weekend on Lake Union, scrimmage NCAA Division II national power Western Washington. The Pilots sent three eights to Seattle, and a pair of fours.
 
"It was great to do some race pieces with Western Washington University," said Portland head coach Pasha Spencer. "WWU is competitive every year and has a history of winning the NCAA DII Championships from 2005-2011. It was beneficial for the team to practice traveling, competing and getting times on a lake."
 
The Pilots and Vikings did 800 meter pieces on Friday and five minute pieces on Saturday while in Seattle.
 
This weekend the Pilots return to the Emerald City for the Husky Open, which is scheduled for Saturday.
