ABOUT WASHINGTON STATE
WSU is now 6-2 in conference play after a split last weekend with a win over Oregon State on Thursday, and then a road loss at San Diego on Saturday. The Cougs have won 11 of their last 15 matches, and although losing their first two matches to begin the season, they were competitive matches as the Cougs worked through early adjustments with some new faces. The Cougs returned five from the 2023 team, including Logann Golden, Weronika Wojdyla, Katy Ryan, Emma Barbero and Lucie Blažková. In addition to the returners, nine newcomers have entered the program, including grad transfers Sage Brustad (Eastern Washington), Jaden Walz (Bowling Green) and Jade Warren (College of Idaho); junior transfers Keniya Cleveland (Feather River College), Taryn Vrieling (Idaho) and Kylie Wong (Arizona); and incoming true freshmen Italia Bernal, Haumea Marumoto and Breccan Scheck.
SERIES HISTORY
Saturday’s match will be the 45th all-time between WSU and Gonzaga, with the Cougars holding the edge over the previous 44 meetings with a 34-10 record going back to their first match in 1977 that saw WSU win 2-0.
