December 1, 2008 Hey Cougs- Happy Holidays! As we continue on towards the end of this year, WSU Athletics has a lot to be thankful for. First, we have Cougar football that ended its home season with a fantastic win of the Apple Cup! The football team couldn't have done it without the wonderful fans keeping the stadium packed until the end of the second overtime! Then, there is the women's soccer team and their their appearance in the NCAA Championships. The team finished strong with a overall record of 10 wins, 6 losses and 5 ties. Volleyball ended its season over Thanksgiving break. The volleyball team beat Arizona State and Arizona at home, ending Coach Palileo's first season with wins in 3 of the last four matches. The winter season has started out strong. Swimming earned a victory against Seattle University, scoring a total of 153 points to Seattle's 50. This meet was the team's 4th consecutive win. The women's basketball team began its season with a strong freshman class that is exciting to watch. Their next game will be December 5th, vs. Long Beach State at 7:00PM at Beasley Coliseum. Men's basketball again has kicked it in gear, with a home record of 4-0! Be sure to come support them in any their upcoming games- Dec. 2 vs. Idaho State @ 7:00 PM, Dec. 6 vs. Baylor @ 8:30 PM, or Dec. 10 vs. Gonzaga @ 7:00 PM!

October 20, 2008 Hey Coug Fans - It's been a while since I last wrote. Things were pretty slow during the first few weeks of October and I was finally able to rest a little.

Women's Swimming is hosting it's annual Debbie Pipher Memorial Invite, which will take place on Friday, Oct.24 and Saturday, Oct. 25. Women's soccer suffered a tough loss to Stanford yesterday, but is sure to dominate when they travel to Eugene, OR this weekend.
