🏈 Campin’ Out
⏱️ Countin’ Down: 25 Days Away!
👏 And much more!
📈 STOCK UP
🔼 Let The Games Begin. For the first time in 277 days (not that we’ve been counting or anything), the WSU women’s soccer squad will step back on the pitch tomorrow night for the 2026 season opener.
The Cougs are set to host local rival Idaho tonight at 6 pm at the Lower Soccer Field in the inaugural game for first-year head coach Chris Citowicki.
It will be the first official contest of the 2026-27 athletic calendar for WSU Athletics.
🔼 Preseason Praise. Looking to lead the way into a new era of WSU women’s soccer will be the trio of Ashlyn Dvorak, Carly Whalen and Lexi Lee, who this week, were all named to the Pac-12 Impact List.
Cougs don't just show up on game day. They show up every day.
Cougs Mobile, a wireless service built in partnership with WSU, directs a portion of every payment toward WSU athletics and student programs, at no extra cost to you. No donation form. No pledge drive. Just your wireless plan backing Coug Country.
Unlimited plans from $25/mo. No contracts. No hidden fees. Keep your number.
🔼 Campin’ Out. The preparation for the upcoming 2026 season is at full speed as the Cougs continue to grind away on the practice field with fall camp under first-year head coach Kirby Moore.
This week, Moore gave us an inside look at practice in the latest of edition of Mic’d Up with Cougar Football.

🔼 Countin’ Down. Tick tock, tick tock, we’re getting closer and closer.
That’s right, we are now just 2️⃣5️⃣ days away from the kickoff of the 2026 football season for the Cougs.
There are plenty of new faces on the field for Wazzu this fall and one of those new faces looking to make an impact will be #2️⃣5️⃣ Jack Bal, a transfer from Arizona State.
Bal is a 6-2, 195-pound safety that played in four games for the Sun Devils last season and will have two years of eligibility remaining for the Cougs.
Throughout the summer, we will be counting down the days
to the return of Wazzu Football this fall. The Cougs will take on Washington
in the Apple Cup on Sept. 6 in Seattle.
