QUOTING HEAD COACH EMILY FORD: “This weekend is really about what was learned last week (at Gonzaga) and applying that to two races in one day. We’ve got great competition in Virginia and Oklahoma and this offers a good opportunity to see how our efforts in practice this week are working for us.”

LAST YEAR AT THE PAC-12 CHALLENGE: Oregon State faced Virginia and the University of San Diego last season at the Pac-12 Challenge. The Beavers were swept by the Cavaliers in morning racing, but rebounded to defeat USD in the 1V8 and 2V8 races.
