🔼 Winning Weekend. With the conference tournament just over a month away, every series matters even more.
The WSU Baseball team won its third series in the past four, taking two-of-three on the road at UNLV to stay within a game of the top spot in the Mountain West standings.
In Sunday’s finale, Ryan Skjonsby led the way with a two-homer, three hit performance, including the go-ahead shot in the ninth to help the Cougs clinch the series.

🔼 Making History. And the resume continues to lengthen for WSU track & field standout Rosemary Longisa.
Highlighting a busy stay at the Bryan Clay Invitational down in California, Longisa set a meet record in the 1500m.
Rozzy made history at the Bryan Clay Invitational, setting the 1500-meter race meet record and winning the Elite division race. Her time was almost four seconds faster than the previous record. Her time was also 10 seconds faster than her previous personal best 1500 time. She finished in 4 minutes and 2.55 seconds, which is now the fastest time in NCAA Division 1.
🔼 Tourney Time. After a strong regular season, the WSU Tennis team is set to take on the postseason this week with the WCC Tournament.
With a 15-7 record, the Cougs earned the #3 seed in this week’s tournament, which is set to begin on Thursday at 6 p.m. at Green Valley Country Club in Fairfield, Calif.
WSU will take on sixth-seeded Santa Clara with the winner advancing to Friday’s semifinal to battle second-seeded San Diego.
