In front of a full Bohler Gym crowd, Washington State earned a trip to the second round of the NCAA Tournament with a 3-0 sweep over Grand Canyon University. The Cougs mostly cruised in this one, winning 25-12, 31-29, 25-17.
WSU used 54 kills and a .375 hitting percentage to advance and will meet Dayton, a 3-2 winner over Pepperdine in the first round, at the oddly specific time of 7:02 p.m. in Bohler Gym. This is WSU’s third straight first round sweep in the NCAA Tournament.
Iman Isanovic and Pia Timmer each led the way for WSU with 16 and 15 kills, respectively.
