Good afternoon, Coug fans!
It’s a big Friday full of fun news for your favorite soccer team, the Washington State Cougars. The Pac-12 named their all-conference players today, and you might recognize some names: Team captains Elyse Bennett and Mykiaa Minniss got the first-team nod, along with freshman goalkeeper Nadia Cooper, who took home several other honors as well: beyond being named to the Pac-12 first team, she also was named Freshman of the Year AND Goalkeeper of the Year!
This is obviously huge. Cooper became the first player in program history to earn both honors at the same time.
