Washington State Volleyball is on the road this week to take on LMU on Thursday, Oct. 31 at 6 p.m. and then Pepperdine on Saturday, Nov. 2 at 12 p.m. Both matches will be broadcast live on ESPN+.

ABOUT WASHINGTON STATE
WSU is now 7-2 in conference play after a sweep last Saturday over Gonzaga. The Cougs have won four of their last five matches and 12 of their last 16, and although losing their first two games 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
Thursday's match will be the sixth meeting between WSU and LMU with LMU having won each of their last two meetings in 2014 and 2004. Prior to that, the three Cougar wins were in 2003 (3-1), 1996 (3-1) and 1991 (3-0).

Saturday will be the second time WSU has faced Pepperdine this season, and the fifth meeting all-time between the two programs as the Cougs look for their first win against them.

UP NEXT
WSU returns to Pullman next weekend to host Pacific on Thursday, November 7 at 7 p.m. and then Saint Mary's on Friday, November 8 at 6 p.m. Both matches will be broadcast live on ESPN+.

PRESEASON RANKINGS
Washington State volleyball received votes in the 2024 AVCA National Preseason Poll ahead of new Head Coach Korey Schroeder's first season at the helm. The team was also picked to finish sixth in the Preseason WCC Coaches' Poll, while senior Katy Ryan was named to the 2024 WCC Preseason Team.
