REDWOOD SHORES, Calif. – In a top-10 showdown at Redwood Shores Saturday morning, No. 2 California defeated No. 8 Stanford women's rowing in the 84th annual Big Row.
 
With the Lambert Cup on the line, the two crews battled each other throughout the course. The Golden Bears eventually pushed their bow in front. After Stanford won last year's Lambert Cup, California took home the 2017 trophy with a time of 6:16.88 to the Cardinal's 6:19.97.
 
The Bears captured the second varsity eight race as well with a time of 6:26.60, edging Stanford (6:29.80).
 
The varsity four race went to Cal (7:13.90), with Stanford finishing the course in 7:21.46.
 
Stanford and Cal also raced a third varsity eight, with the Bears (6:45.5) defeating the Cardinal (7:00.5).  
 
The Big Row was the final regular-season regatta of the spring for Stanford. The Cardinal will head to Lake Natoma outside of Sacramento for the Pac-12 Championships on Sunday, May 14. This year's NCAA Championships will be held at Mercer Lake in West Windsor, New Jersey, May 26-28.
