MOSCOW, Idaho (February 3, 2024) – Washington State followed up a win over Utah Friday night with a dominating 173-115 victory over Idaho in Moscow Saturday morning.
 
The Cougars won 11 of the 14 swimming events including both relay events as sophomores Emily Lundgren and Dori Hathazi each won two races while sophomore Anna Rauchholz, senior Kiana Swain, sophomore Lauren Wille and freshman Ariel Wang each added wins.
 
"After a great win last night over Utah on Senior Night we wanted to make sure we were focused and ready to come in to Idaho with a lot of energy and we did that, going 1-2 in the 200 medley relay. We put together some really good wins throughout the day, I thought we did a good job of keeping the focus on getting ready for Pac-12's and trying to compete at the high-level," head coach Matt Leach said. "We had a solid performance to end the regular season with a pair of wins and will now focus on the Pac-12 Championships and NCAA Championships. Go Cougs!"
