Competing at the 2019 West Coast Conference Championships from Lake Natoma in Gold River, California the Loyola Marymount women's rowing team finished in third place behind the University of San Diego and first place Gonzaga.
 
The Lions started off the day with a win in the second varsity four, coming in with a time of 7:49.894, then quickly followed that up with the team's first ever win in the varsity four. The Lions victory in the varsity four was at a program-best time of 7:36.350, beating USD by six seconds for their second straight race victory.
 
The Lions claimed a 7-0 lead after the first two races, but five-time defending champion Gonzaga pulled ahead with a narrow first-place second varsity eight time of 6:48.365. The Bulldogs' finish was the eighth-fastest time in WCC Championship history, as they beat out LMU and San Diego by .966 and 3.716 seconds, respectively, to win their 16^th overall 2V8 race at the WCC Championships. 
 
LMU and Gonzaga stood neck and neck at 19 points apiece heading into the deciding varsity eight race, but the Zags finished off their five-peat with a 6:31.773 V8 win, the seventh-fastest time in WCC Championship history. It was the 18th V8 win at the WCC Championships, resulting in the 18th overall conference title for the Bulldogs. 
 
San Diego and LMU each earned 34 points, but the Toreros laid claim to second place via their second-place finish in the varsity eight while Portland (24 points) rounded out the top four. 
 
Gonzaga swept all four All-WCC awards for the second straight year. Grace Calahane claimed Newcomer of the Year, Alexa Jadallah was named Coxswain of the Year, Lauren English was named Rower of the Year, and Marisa Wortman was tabbed Coach of the Year in her first season in Spokane.
