WEEK PREVIEW
The Cougs remain at No. 17 in the latest AVCA Coaches Poll after the series sweep of Colorado at home, and the cancellation of the series at Stanford this past weekend. WSU will now host the Golden Bears of California (1-9, 1-9 Pac-12) this coming weekend inside Bohler Gym, with match one slated for Friday, Feb. 26 at 6 p.m.
Washington State s matches at No. 23 Stanford, scheduled previously for Friday, Feb. 19, and Sunday, Feb. 21, was canceled due to recent COVID-19 protocol developments within the Stanford Volleyball program, which resulted in less than the minimum number of required student-athletes being available for competition for the Cardinal.
