February 24, 2018 | WSU Athletics, Women's Basketball
PULLMAN, Wash. – The Washington State University Athletic Department was deeply saddened to learn of the sudden passing of Director, Strength and Conditioning David Lang Saturday afternoon. Lang was a member of the WSU Athletic Department for 20 years.
Â
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Lang Family," said WSU Director of Athletics Patrick Chun. "David was beloved and respected by our entire department. He impacted and positively changed the lives of countless Washington State student-athletes during his two decades of service. He will forever remain in our hearts and will be dearly missed."
Â
Lang worked closely with many of WSU's roughly 450 student-athletes, but worked directly with the women's basketball and men's and women's golf programs. Due to this heartbreaking news, and in consultation with both Stanford University and the Pac-12 Conference, Sunday's women's basketball game against Stanford has been cancelled.
Â
Once again, our hearts go out to the Lang Family at this very difficult time.
