Bender was a star player on the Cougars' 1997 Pac-10 Championship team and was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the second round of the 1998 NFL Draft. But on May 30, 1998, just five weeks after the NFL Draft, Bender passed away from complications stemming from an epileptic seizure suffered while in Georgia preparing for the Raiders' mini-camp.

The Cougar rowing team headed out to the NCAA Championships a day earlier than usual, making a stop in Louisville, Ky., on its way to Indianapolis, Ind. WSU arrived in Louisville at 3 p.m. Monday, May 27 and headed straight to the University of Louisville's boathouse for a workout and practice. The conditions kept the Cougars indoor, but they were able to bike, erg and use the Cardinals' indoor rowing tank. That night the team stayed at 21c, a hotel and art museum in one. The next morning the team got up, had breakfast and headed back to the Louisville boathouse for a row on the Ohio River. Following the workout, the team packed up, and on its way out of town, made a stop at Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby Museum in Louisville. Upon arrival, a van was parked outside that had pictures of Mattel games on it and the words 'Take a Game Break'. The team was approached by Bob Guiney, the host of 'Take a Game Break,' which encourages families to take time to play board games together, rather than play video games and watch movies. Guiney played one of the games with members of the team as a camera man filmed it. The student-athletes were able to get photos taken with the TV host and former star of ABC's 'The Bachelor'. Once in the museum the team experienced every last bit of horse racing culture in Kentucky, starting with a video, and followed by a walking tour of the grounds and exploration on their own. During the walking tour, the women got to set foot in the grandstands, learn about various 'notable' horses and Triple Crown winners and even see a former Kentucky Derby winner, Mine that Bird, who won in 2009. Following their time at Churchill Downs, the Cougars trekked up to Indianapolis, Ind., where practice began Wednesday at Eagle Creek Park. The NCAA Championships begin Friday morning and run through Sunday, June 2. MOST RECENT POSTS
