VANCOUVER, Wash. - The Puget Sound Logger men's crew program ran away with a conference title while the women's program battled with Western Washington, taking second at the Northwest Collegiate Rowing Conference Championships on Saturday at Vancouver Lake.

The titles is the Loggers 'sixth NCRC championship in the last eight years, including five straight from 2001-05.
On the women's side, the Loggers, ranked sixth in Division III, battled the three-time national champion Vikings in nearly every race. WWU took both Varsity 8+ races by about five seconds each time. The Loggers collected wins in the 2nd Novice 4 and the 2nd Novice 8+. Puget Sound finished with 52.5 points while the Vikings won their fourth straight NCRC title with 60.5 points. Lewis & Clark took third with just 20 points.
