 Cougars at Lentil Festival Photo Gallery
The Washington State University women's basketball team recently took
part in the Palouse Lentil Festival and parade held in downtown
Pullman. The Cougars met with WSU fans, signed autographs, took pictures with
fans, participated in some games and helped serve food before walking in
the parade with other Cougar student-athletes.
Improvements continued to the men's and women's basketball practice gym as the floor was redone to reflect the newly implemented branding of WSU Athletics and the move into the Pac-12 Conference. A photo gallery can be found HERE.
Below are pictures of WSU's basketball practice facility before its redesign and a photo of the progress.

 (Photo courtesy of TEAM PHOTOGENIC)Coach June Daugherty recently spoke at the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women Luncheon held in Seattle. Daugherty is a major advocate for healthy heart awareness. As a survivor
of sudden cardiac arrest, she has become one of the nation's most
visible spokeswomen, filming a nationally-aired commercial, speaking at
fund-raisers and helping WSU sponsor the inaugural "Cougs Have Heart"
basketball game this past season to raise awareness for heart disease.
The luncheon raised an estimated $240,000 for the American Heart Association to continue educating women on fighting heart disease, and funding women-specific research related to cardiovascular disease.
