The Washington women's rowing team faces an extraordinarily busy weekend as seven Husky crews will each race three times over two days at the B1G Invitational, Saturday and Sunday at Lake Natoma.

Lake Natoma, located in Gold River, Calif., near Sacramento, has been host to multiple NCAA Championships and was the longtime home of the Pac-12 Championships.
