The Cougars are fourth in the West Coast Conference standings with a 10-4 conference record and a 16-8 overall record. Statistically, WSU has been one of the top teams in the nation in serving, setting and attacking, ranking 19th in aces per set (1.90), 79th in assists per set (12.29), 81st in hitting percentage (.242), and 83rd in kills per set (13.30).

🏐 Previewing The Weekend Ahead

🔼 Class Acts. Each month WSU Academic Services honors two student-athletes who demonstrate commitment to academics while participating in their sport.

For the month of October, football’s Bryson Lamb and soccer’s Peyton Price were both recognized.

Lamb, a redshirt-junior defensive tackle, owns a 3.31 GPA while majoring in kinesiology. The Bellingham, Wash. native walked-on at WSU prior to the 2022 season, and developed into a leader off the field and a starter on the field. Lamb has volunteered at the special Olympics, the WSU ROAR program and the SAAC.

This season, Lamb has started all nine of the games he has played and has enjoyed a career-best season with 21 tackles, 3.5 tackles-for-loss including 1.5 sacks with one fumble recovery and one blocked field goal.
 
Price, a senior defender, owns a 3.81 GPA while majoring in management-innovation and change. The Sammamish, Wash. native was named a co-Captain prior to the season and started the first 13 games before suffering an injury.
