Fly, Falcons, fly.
Seattle Pacific University women’s rowing team, which includes Coupeville sisters Sophie and Lucy Sandahl, is headed to the NCAA D-II Championships.
SPU was one of six schools tabbed for the event, set for May 26-27 in Pennsauken, New Jersey.
The field, which had no automatic qualifiers, was revealed Tuesday during a live selection show.
Cal Poly Humboldt, Central Oklahoma, Embry-Riddle (Florida), Thomas Jefferson, and Western Washington join the Falcons in earning bids.
Each school will field an eight-women boat and a four-women crew.
Sophie Sandahl is a senior at SPU, while Lucy is a junior.
Earlier in the week, the siblings, who are studying Art History and Physiology respectively, were both named to the Great Northwest Athletic Conference All-Academic team.
