🏈 Meet The Newest Members Of The Staff

🔼 BIG Impact. This signing will have an impact of a lifetime.

This week, the Washington State University Tennis announced a new team member, signing 10-year-old JoLynn Garrett through Team IMPACT.

JoLynn, who is navigating life with Williams syndrome, officially signed with the team today in Pullman. She will participate in many activities with Washington State Tennis, including games, practices, and other team events, over the next two years.

Team IMPACT, a national non-profit organization, has developed a unique multiyear program that matches children facing serious illness and disability with college athletic teams across the country. Based on a clinical model, Team IMPACT guides a symbiotic relationship between teams and children focused on socialization, empowerment, and resilience.

🔼 Fresh Faces. It may only be January, but the preparation for next fall is already in full swing for the WSU Volleyball program.

Head Coach Korey Schroeder and staff announced the addition of five incoming transfers for the 2026 season.

The additions include a pair of outside hitters, Madyn Cervellera from Seattle U and Emerson Matthews from Buffalo, a defensive specialist/libero from Idaho State, Chloe Heimlicher, a setter from Hawaii, Audrey Hollis, and Naomi White a middle blocker from Portland State.
