SAO PAULO, Brazil – Playing for her country for the first time, Washington State rising junior Chanelle Molina helped guide Team USA to a gold medal over the week at the inaugural FISU America Games in Brazil. Molina and the Americans went a perfect 4-0 at the games, defeating Mexico, Uruguay, Chile, and Brazil of the week long event to secure the top of the podium. Molina joins a handful of Cougar athletes to earn gold for Team USA over the summer, as WSU volleyball stars, Alexis Dirige, Molina's cousin, and Taylor Mims won gold at the 2018 Global Challenge in Croatia.
