Don’t look now, but Cougar volleyball is on a roll.
Washington State had a stellar non-conference slate once again this year, but great non-conference records aren’t unusual for the Cougs. The last time they entered conference play with more than 3 losses was back in 2010. But success early hasn’t always translated to success in Pac-12 play. In 2011, WSU lost just twice outside of conference play, but picked up 2 wins in the Pac-12. In 2014, it was a 9-3 non-conference record that led to a 1-19 conference mark.
The Pac-12 schedule has always been the defining point in the season for WSU volleyball and for the 2017 squad, that mark comes tonight.
